Simple graphics make complex stories clear

Kidney matchSimple graphics sometimes work better than highly-produced interactives when it comes to explaining a complicated process. The Wall Street Journal accompanied a story about kidney transplants with a series of four illustrations that walk users through the problems people often face when looking for a compatible donor. Using stick figures, arrows and very little text, the graphics clearly explain how “paired donations” can increase the number of successful transplants. Nice work.
