Project Description
Digital Information Graphics confronts the issues that directly affect our interaction with the screen, whether for the World Wide Web, multimedia applications or small-screen devices like mobile phones or tablets. Considering the most effective way to present deep arrays of data, the book is based on principles and strategies that are presented through examples and case studies: Mapping: displaying complex spaces, environments and infrastructure in simple and comprehensive ways; Informing: the analysis and presentation of data gathered from such areas as communication, demographics and news; Explaining: considering how complex events, conditions or situations are conveyed in straightforward ways; Exploring: pushing today’s technology to its limits, resulting in new ways to navigate a website or to interact with the computer.
For any organization, home office or major media corporation, information design is one of the most important elements of success, and yet, even in an increasingly media-savvy age, it remains one of the most overlooked areas of graphics. With examples drawn from top information designers around the world, this book sets out to make a vital part of design available to everyone living and working in the digital age.
