时代周刊2018年最著名的插图节选 ：
Looking Back at the Economic Crash of 2008 Artist:
Tyler Comrie “We needed an image that could loudly declare
that the damage from the ’08 financial crisis was lasting and ongoing.
Odds are decent that this illustration will still be relevant in 100
years.”
— Matt Dorfman, art director
Summer Reading
Artist:
Angie Wang

I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration
Artist:
Delcan & Co “How to approach a confidential text that
could not be shared with the artist in advance? Pablo’s response
embodied the precariousness of a divided administration struggling to
rein in its chaotic leader, with the fate of the American experiment on
the line.”
— Jim Datz, art director
Need a Politics Cleanse? Go Ahead and Treat Yourself.
Artist:
Tim Lahan “A cathartic image that gets the tiny
details of human expression exactly right. Tim packs a lot of
specificity into what appear at first to be a few quick, simple strokes
of the digital pen.”
— Jim Datz, art director
The Predators in the Kitchen
Artist:
Kiersten Essenpreis “Kiersten is a fountain of great ideas. This ominous Sunday Review cover had so many layers.”
— Hannah K. Lee, art director
Democracy at Risk Artist:
Eleni Kalorkoti
Using Wildfires as an Excuse to Plunder Forests Artist:
Anders Nilsen “Anders rendered the California fires in
stark colors — including a visual punchline that comments on the impact
of a ‘solution’ that would deliver the opposite of its intended
results.”
— Jim Datz, art director
The Worst Drug Crisis in American History
Artist:
Golden Cosmos “Doris and Daniel were tasked with
illustrating a book about fracking — and also a book about water
contamination — and also a book about opioids. They captured all of it
with empathy and grace. It’s one of the best illustrations I’ve ever
commissioned.”
— Matt Dorfman, art director
The New American Dream Home Is One You Never Have to Leave
Artist:
Igor Bastidas “A simply animated Droste effect would
have satisfied anyone else — but no, not Igor. The wonderful details
bring this hypnotic animation to life.”
— Nathan Huang, art director
For the Love of a Dog
Artist:
Joohee Yoon 
How to Clean the Most Common Cat Messes
Artist:
Pablo Rochat “Pablo’s approach to generating concepts always involves delight and humor. His pieces are guaranteed to make me smile.”
— Jaspal Riyait, art director
There Is Nothing More All-American Than the Veggie Burger
Artist:
Hudson Christie 
Am I Going Blind?
Artist:
Ben Wiseman “Ben devised a bold visual metaphor to
accompany Frank Bruni’s moving piece. It’s simultaneously optimistic and
interrogative — just like the writing.”
— Jim Datz, art director
We Are Not the Resistance Artist:
Johanna Goodman “Johanna is an accomplished collagist whose
ongoing ‘Imaginary Beings’ series remains wedged in my mind as something
truly special. A Sunday Review cover that focused on women’s
solidarity, advocacy and protest seemed the perfect moment to adapt it
for maximum impact.”
— Jim Datz, art director
13 Political Secrets People Kept From Family and Friends. What’s Yours?
Artist:
Abbey Lossing “2018 was marked by activism, marches and
political protests — but not everyone was so inspired. Abbey perfectly
captures the feeling of sitting out on the sidelines.”
— Agnes Lee, art director
Down With the Year of the Woman
Artist:
Kimberly Lum 
13 Political Secrets People Kept From Family and Friends. What’s Yours?
Artist:
Lilli Carré “Lilli’s incredible animation gets at the
disillusionment some felt around this election cycle. ‘I don’t feel
like my vote makes a difference,’ one reader said.”
— Agnes Lee, art director
What 18 Looks Like Around the World — Through Girls’ Eyes
Artist:
Tracy Ma
Why Do We Reward Bullies? Artist:
Mikel Jaso “Mikel is a master of humorous
juxtapositions, and this image was no exception — a visual shorthand for
the headline that tells the whole story without needing words at all.”
— Jim Datz, art director
He Can’t Remember His Name. Maybe He Doesn’t Want To?
Artist:
Eleanor Taylor 
The New Radicalization of the Internet
Artist:
Woody Harrington “Woody illustrated one of the most hotly
debated topics of 2018: how social media feeds ‘right-wing extremism.’
It’s a brilliant observation on an issue that must be handled with
care.”
— Sarah Williamson, art director
Of Interest: Noteworthy Facts From Today’s Paper Artist:
Nishant Choksi “These are part of a daily illustration
series that runs alongside facts from the day’s paper. Nishant’s
approach elevated these by fully integrating them into the architecture
of the page — and he makes it look easy too.”
— Andrew Sondern, art director
Halloween Issue Artist:
La Boca “We weren’t even safe from squirrels this year.”
— Matt Dorfman, art director
Halloween Issue

Must Science Conflict With Spirituality?
Artist:
Chloé Poizat “For a book of essays that reconcile
spirituality and science, Chloé performed her signature miracle, making
something ineffable look obvious.”
— Matt Dorfman, art director
Far From Home, a Safe Space in Time
Artist:
Jon Han
The Trip Doctors
Artist:
Christoph Niemann “In Michael Pollan’s story about
mainstreaming the use of psychedelic drugs to treat mental disorders, he
describes his own experience of taking psilocybin. We decided to have
some fun with that idea on our cover. Christoph’s trippy image of Pollan
plays with the viewer’s visual perceptions.”
— Gail Bichler, art director
Is Technology Harming Teenagers?
Artist:
Erik Carter
When the Robot Doesn’t See Dark Skin Artist:
Claire Merchlinsky “Claire’s work on this project was
conceptually on the mark — but it was also rendered in a tactile medium
that felt anything but digital. I appreciated the approach as an
alternative to more typical visual clichés.”
— Jim Datz, art director
The Flourishing Business of Fake YouTube Views Artist:
Adam Ferriss “This artwork comes to life through playful
interaction. Adam experimented with composition, frame rate and movement
to create this exciting feedback effect. (On desktop, move your mouse
to interact with the illustration. On mobile, tilt your phone.)”
— Antonio de Luca, art director
The G.O.P. Is a Boys’ Club. This Woman Is Trying to Change That.
Artist:
Andrea D’Aquino “Effortlessness and simplicity are the
marks of a professional illustrator. Andrea’s image of the Republican
Party’s gender gap is at once subtle and stunning.”
— Sarah Williamson, art director
There’s a Stress Gap Between Men and Women. Here’s Why It’s Important.
Artist:
Till Lauer 
Steven Pinker Continues to See the Glass Half Full
Artist:
Gabriel Alcala “This piece illustrated a review of two
books that insisted that human life is safer, healthier, longer, less
violent, more prosperous, more tolerant and more fulfilling now than
ever before (with statistics and data to back). Gabriel’s work nods to
that perspective while winking at the ample evidence to the contrary.”
— Matt Dorfman, art director
The Left Shouldn’t Be Too Proud to Meme
Artist:
Sally Thurer “When Sally’s sketches arrived, one stood
out as a smart meta-summation of the text — but also a bit of a dare.
As in: Should we really go there? Ultimately we rallied behind the
image; we loved how it slipped incisive commentary between laugh lines.”
— Jim Datz, art director
Style on the Street Artist:
Henning Wagenbreth 
The Animal Issue Artist:
Jared Muralt
Losing My Son to Reading
Artist:
Josh Cochran 
Taxpayers Always Lose Industry’s Shell Game With Jobs
Artist:
Cathryn Virginia “Cathryn’s illustration sums up Trump-era capitalism and corporate greed. A perfectly modern take on the second Gilded Age.”
— Sarah Williamson, art director
Rachel Kushner’s ‘The Mars Room’ Offers a Blackly Comic Take on Prison Life
Artist:
Wesley Allsbrook “In illustrating one of the most talked
about books of the year, Wesley had to capture the despair and
bitterness of life in a women’s prison. This art looks like it was
scratched onto the wall of a cell.”
— Matt Dorfman, art director
Who Has Innocent Syrians’ Blood on Their Hands?
Artist:
Anthony Russo “We needed an image that conveyed the chaos and horror happening in Syria. Anthony’s solution evokes Picasso’s ‘Guernica.’”
— Hannah K. Lee, art director
The Plot to Subvert an Election
Artist:
Matthieu Bourel, from a photograph by the Kremlin “Matthieu’s collage was a bold analog
solution for an investigation that focused on digital distortion and
Russian meddling in the 2016 election.”
— Fred Bierman, Wayne Kamidoi and Andrew Sondern, art directors
Trump Wants a Big Parade. It Would Be a Big Mistake.
Artist:
Alex Nabaum
Is Trump Warping Our Sense of Time?
Artist:
Braulio Amado 
Selected Opinion pages Artist:
James Yang, Mike McQuade, Brian Stauffer, Harry Campbell, Matt Chase, Lauren Simkin Berke, Julianna Brion “Some of the best illustrations we’ve seen this year used the entire page to make an impact.”
— Jim Datz and Hannah K. Lee, art directors
Do You Like Your Name?
Artist:
Alexander Glandien “Alexander’s unconventional approach to
image-making served him well for this piece on onomastics — the study of
how our names shape the people we become.”
— Hannah K. Lee, art director
America’s Real Digital Divide
Artist:
Alexis Beauclair
Pleasure Reading Artist:
Jillian Tamaki “When Jillian sent in her final for this, my
first thought was: ‘I’m getting fired.’ My second thought was: ‘Thank
you.’ Looking at it for a few seconds longer, I got a little emotional
at my desk. It’s so joyful and relaxed and celebratory — everything our
sexual hang-ups and consequent politics are not.”
— Matt Dorfman, art director
Two Novels Trace Parallels Between Past and Present, or Create Them
Artist:
Sophy Hollington 
Jenna Wortham’s All-Womxn Playlist
Artist:

— Agnes Lee, art director
Letter of Recommendation: Women’s Clothing
Artist:
Sara Andreasson 
What’s Life Like After Depression? Surprisingly, Little Is Known
Artist:
Scott Menchin “I loved the simplicity, directness and
light-hearted quality of this illustration. Scott gave us a different
way of looking at a deeply human condition.”
— Catherine Gilmore-Barnes, art director
James Frey Has Written His First Adult Novel in a Decade Artist:
Na Kim “This novel asked us to empathize with the
problems of a successful screenwriter pining for an old flame. This
being the year 2018, Na considered the pain of the successful white male
— and responded accordingly.”
— Matt Dorfman, art director
从今年“纽约时报”印刷和网络上出现的成千上万的插图中，主题很复杂：#MeToo，移民辩论，气候变化。跟纯文字不同， 图像增强了长篇文字所传递的信息，并传达情感和创造思维的空间。最值得注意的是那些让我们感到惊讶的东西，让我们感到值得一看的东西，让我们大笑 - 让我们停顿下来思考的东西。（摘编自时代周刊。）
