Nicholas Felton and Matt Masons’s collaboration for Penguin Books “Hard Times” is simply gorgeous.

My team recently had to put together a lengthy research document, which meant tons and tons of charts and graphs. Every time the team got stuck, I pulled out Felton’s 2007 Annual Report as a reminder that even relatively boring data can be presented in compelling ways.

Updated: Thanks to Jeremy Ettinghausen for pointing out my Penguin/Pentagram swap.
