We talk a lot about the visualizations done by the crew at the New York Times, so it’s no surprise to see the guy in charge, Steve Duenes, chosen for a SIGGRAPH Keynote.
Duenes started at The New York Times in 1999 as the graphics editor for science, and he became the graphics director in 2004. In his current role, he manages a staff of 30 journalists who work as a team to shape and deliver visual information by researching, writing, designing and programming information graphics for both the printed newspaper and www.nytimes.com.
Duenes is also on the faculty at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. His team has received awards from numerous organizations including the Society of Publication Designers, American Institute of Graphic Arts, Society for News Design, and the Society of Professional Journalists. In addition, Duenes is a contributing cartoonist in The New Yorker.
