More and more information is being visualised. Diagrams, data and informationgraphics are utilised wherever increasingly complex elements are present,whether it is in magazines, non-fiction books or business reports, packages orexhibition designs.Data Flow presents an abundant range of possibilities in visualising data andinformation. Today, diagrams are being applied beyond their classical fieldsof use. In addition to archetypical diagrams such as pie charts and histograms,there are manifold types of diagrams developed for use in distinct cases andcategories. These range from chart-like diagrams such as bar, plot, line diagramsand spider charts, graph-based diagrams including line, matrix, process flow,and molecular diagrams to extremely complex three-dimensional diagrams.The more concrete the variables, the more aesthetically elaborate the graphics sometimes reaching the point of art the more abstract, the simpler the readability.The abundant examples in Data Flow showcase the various methodologiesbehind information design with solutions concerning complexity, simplification,readability and the (over)production of information. In addition to the examplesshown, the book features explanatory text.On 256 pages, Data Flow introduces a comprehensive selection of innovativelydesigned diagrams. This up-to-date survey provides inspiration and concretesolutions for designers, and at the same time unlocks a new field of visual codes.

New in paperback, this workbook is a methodical yet comprehensive approach to conveying the fundamentals of avant-garde, innovative, information design by examining history, theory, criticism, technology and media, process, method, and practice. Opening with a very brief history followed by an instructive breakdown of the discipline, readers get an intimate understanding of the complexities of crafting information design to effectively improve communication both functionally and aesthetically. The back half of the book contains a wide range of case studies from design firms around the world so designers can see the techniques previously outlined in the first half of the book. The author also critiques and explains why the design is successful in terms of formal quality (Aesthetics) and function (How does it improve communication?).

Groundbreaking ideas on how to create the best, most effective graphics and signs.A signage system is much more than just a set of signposts and symbols. As well as its practical application, it helps to create an identity for a space and can add decorative flair to any built environment. Here, Andreas Uebele describes the basic rules of signage design—and then goes on to show how to effectively break them.Signs must be visible but not distracting, informative but not unwieldy, and concise but not confusing. Color, typography, pictograms, and icons are all elements that can be varied and exploited to encapsulate as much information as possible and fit the job's requirements: the signage for a hospital, an airport, or a conference center may have little in common, and solutions must always be tailored to fit the location.The book showcases great examples of signage design worldwide, ranging from museums and schools to transport systems, with an emphasis on the most original approaches. It is not only an indispensable handbook for communications designers but also a must for architects, interior designers, and graphic artists who need a better understanding of this essential aspect of modern design. 500+ color photographs and illustrations.
