Insider's art team created and commissioned hundreds of illustrations this year. We visualized everything from the Russia-Ukraine War and the overturning of Roe v. Wade to The Great Resignation and America's Next Top Model.

Throughout the year we hired nearly 50 talented illustrators to work with our talented team of in-house designers and bring our most compelling stories to life. These are our favorite illustrations from 2022.
