This is Visual Journalism [100] by Tiago Veloso.

From the post:

Edition number one hundred of our round up of infographics from the print industry, and the selection we pulled together today is a perfect celebration – after all, we have dozens of new works from newsrooms all over the world, making this one of the biggest selections published on Visualoop so far.

And in less than a month, we’ll be covering the 23rd edition of Malofiej Awards – the world’s main stage for journalistic infographics. We’ve actually begun our coverage, with two great posts: our friend Marco Vergotti, infographic editor of Época magazine, made this special infographic about last year’s Malofiej Awards; and this exclusive interview with the main responsible for the success of the event, the Spanish journalist Javier Errea. If you missed these posts, we definitively recommend you to read them.

I count fifty-four (54) stunning infographics from print publications.

Before you skip these as “just print infographics” remember that print infographics can’t rely on interaction with a user.

They either capture the attention of a reader or fail, usually miserably.

Which of these capture your attention? How would you duplicate that in a more forgiving digital environment?

PS: If you can’t capture and hold a user’s attention, the quality or capabilities of your software aren’t going to have an opportunity to shine.
