Data Flow: Visualising Information in Graphic Design
For all you Tufte fans / information design lovers Gestalten has something sweet for you.
More and more information is being visualised. Diagrams, data and information graphics are utilised wherever increasingly complex elements are present, whether it is in magazines, non-fiction books or business reports, packages or exhibition designs.
Data Flow presents an abundant range of possibilities in visualising data and information. Today, diagrams are being applied beyond their classical fields of use. In addition to archetypical diagrams such as pie charts and histograms, there are manifold types of diagrams developed for use in distinct cases and categories. These range from chart-like diagrams such as bar, plot, line diagrams and spider charts, graph-based diagrams including line, matrix, process flow, and molecular diagrams to extremely complex three-dimensional diagrams.
This full color, hardcover, 256 page book was released earlier this month in Europe and will follow with its North American release mid October.
To get more about Data Flow check out Gestalten.tv’s latest video podcast with co-editor Nicolas Bourquin and book designer Thibaud Tissot.
This looks awesome; I’ll definitely keep my eyes peeled. :)
