The Presentation of Evidence as Art is a unique exhibition of media images and legal graphics. Most
of these graphics were used in legal proceedings to help explain complex issues to lay people—they
help construct a specific legal narrative to and for the jury and other interested parties. In addition,
some of the graphics that are on display were created by professional media organizations, such
as The New York Times, to explain complex legal issues to their readers. To assemble this collection,
over 75 design and legal firms from across the nation were asked to submit evidence presentations
and graphics for consideration. The review committee has selected the best submissions for the
Presentation of Evidence as Art.
The exhibition was assembled by Karl Gude, the former director of Information Graphics at
Newsweek magazine and now a lecturer at Michigan State University’s School of Journalism
in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences.
