Information graphics

by Peter Wildbur

The organization and presentation of information is one of the most important but least recognized aspects of the design profession. Whether faced with masses of material, sophisticated sign systems or making the complex appear simple, designers must make information accessible and available to everyone. More visible than the work of any other kind of graphic artist, information graphics are all around us - but how do designers arrive at such elegant and useful solutions to complicated problems? Instructive and informative, many of the examples presented here are destined to become classics of their kind. An invaluable sourcebook for students and an essential guide to creating the most successful designs for the professional, Information Graphics will become the standard work on this crucial aspect of design practice.
