[Rewind] An Interview with Jessica Hagy of ‘This is Indexed’
On this week’s VizThink rewind we’ve pulled an interview Tom Crawford did with Jessica Hagy back in November of 2008. Jessica is the creator of “This is Indexed” and I have no doubt that you’ve encountered one of her humorous venn diagrams or other charts over the past couple of years. This visual podcast runs about 20 minutes, so it’s a pretty quick listen but it gives you some great insight into Jessica’s process.

Visualization can be a very powerful tool. Even simple images have the power to be provocative, insightful, challenging, and even funny. Jessica Hagy’s book and associated blog, Indexed, are no exception. In fact, they are great examples of very simple images such as line charts and Venn diagrams used to communicate complex concepts, often with a good dose of humor and wit.
Be sure to check out her blog, This Is Indexed, for some great examples of her work. We recently had the opportunity to talk to Jessica about how she got started, how she uses visuals in her work, and where she gets her inspiration. Check out the 19 minute 52 second podcast to find out more about her work:
