Data Design: Visualising Quantities, Locations, Connections
Per Mollerup · Swinburne figshare (Swinburne University of Technology) · 2015
A highly practical guide to the graphic representation of quantities, locations, connections and other forms of data, founded on solid design principles. The book has been created to assist designers, researchers, and writers in expressing visually through points, lines, and areas that which by words, letters, and numbers alone often have difficulty communicating. It describes problems, principles, and solutions for the visual display of information, and presents real-world didactic examples, taken from, for example, the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal. Describes what is common to all types of visual displays, the book continues with three main parts that deal with displays showing quantities, locations, and connections.
