Product Description

Product Description
Designers need to make information accessible and available to everyone - but how do they arrive at such elegant and useful solutions to complicated problems? Covering a broad spectrum of material, from signs and maps to electronic manuals, this work presents an international selection of work that makes our world function smoothly, including designs by such masters as Erik Spiekermann of MetaDesign in Germany, Richard Saul Wurman in the USA and Hiroyuki Kimura of Tube Design in Japan. Within each chapter are detailed case studies that examine a single project in depth, from the client's initial request to the finished product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good sourcebook with a reasonable discussion too, 7 May 2001
By A Customer
Other reviewers seem to expect an academic text or a production manual. Whilst this book is neither of those, it is more than just a graphic design sourcebook. It presents some contemporary best-of-breed examples and places them in context.

Chapters are: Informing the Traveller, Explaining How Things Work, Controlling the Input, Interacting with the Screen, Exploring the 3-D Interface and Mapping the Internal and External Worlds. Each chapter has at least one case study, and numerous other samples of information graphics.

Cases include airport signage from Schipol and Dusseldorf, air traffic control and aircraft cockpit panels (which should satisfy propellor-heads!), as well as educational, cartographic, architectural and Web examples. Only the latter are starting to date - there's still much to be learnt here.

1.0 out of 5 stars very disappointing, 5 Mar 1999
By A Customer
I thought this was going to be packed with modern examples of information graphics from around the world. I wanted to see calendars, airport signage, exhibitions etc. etc. Maps are featured heavily and seem to be the only graphics worth talking about. Very limited. The cover got me to buy the book though, so that worked well...

2.0 out of 5 stars Speaking as a graduate of Graphic Information Design..., 5 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This book is a good introduction for those wishing to commission information graphics but bad as a reference for those wishing to study it. It covers the who and the when but frequently, not the how or the why. Team sizes, budgets and schedules are not discussed and the possible socialogical and geographical impact of new solutions upon existing codes and conventions, are almost ignored. The end result is a catalogue that could have greatly benefited from multimedia support.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good source book
I produce information graphics, and I found this book to be a very useful source of ideas. It's nicely laid out, and isn't too text-heavy. Read more
