Business Insider's creative team covered a lot of ground this year. We incorporated animations into our stories, built custom multimedia experiences for our biggest stories, created and commissioned hundreds of illustrations, and worked with photographers around the globe. We visualized everything from the cost of extreme weather to the coronation of King Charles.

We hired nearly 200 talented freelancers to work bring our most compelling stories to life, and created over 1,200 works of custom art.

These are some of our favorite visuals from 2023.
