The Best Of Forbes Illustration 2022

A picture may be worth a thousand words but sometimes it’s maddeningly difficult to find the right photo. Especially under deadline. Or if the subject is reclusive or uncooperative. Or if the story is about an idea rather than a person or place.

That’s where Forbes’ talented team of artists and photo illustrators steps up. Whether it’s a highway lined with surgical mask hills to accompany a story about the future of the pandemic, or a neon Miami Vice-inspired fingerprint to illustrate a piece on Florida’s identity theft gangs, these images quickly and impactfully encapsulate the journalism – and hopefully ensnare the reader. These amazing illustrations are all the work a small team of designers, led by Alicia Hallett-Chan, Charles Brucaliere and Fernando Capeto.

Those of us who write the words here at Forbes are fortunate to have such formidable visual support.
