International interest in the sophisticated and aesthetic visualization of complex information made Data Flow a bestseller. Today, more and more graphic designers, advertising agencies, motion designers, and artists work in this area. New techniques and forms of expression are being developed. Consequently, the demand for information on this topic has grown enormously. Data Flow 2 expands the definition of contemporary information graphics. The book features new possibilities for diagrams, maps, and charts. It investigates the visual and intuitive presentation of processes, data, and information. Concrete examples of research and art projects as well as commercial work illuminate how techniques such as simplification, abstraction, metaphor, and dramatization function. The book also includes interviews with experts such as The New York Times s Steve Duenes, Infosthetics's Andrew Vande Moere, Visualcomplexity's Manuel Lima, ART+COM s Joachim Sauter, and passionate cartographer Menno-Jan Kraak as well as text features by Johannes Schardt about the challenges in creating effective information graphics and about the relationship between complexity, clarity, content, and innovation. Offering practical advice, background information, case studies, and inspiration, Data Flow 2 is a valuable reference for anyone working with or interested in information graphics.

This is an interesting book, but i would suggest getting the first "data flow' instead as graphics are much better, or try 'Information is Beautiful'

Great book, like other from gestalten. Better then the Data Flow 1, because in this one there are a lot of theory, description and good stuff...!

I was originally looking for a book called 'Mapping' by Roger Fawcett-Tang & William Owen, but it is now out of print. Then I saw an ad for the Data Flow book on a Design Week blog and after doing some research online, bought it. It is a really amazing book - just the kind of thing I love. Smashing!
