These range from chart-like diagrams such as bar, plot, line diagramsand spider charts, graph-based diagrams including line, matrix, process flow,and molecular diagrams to extremely complex three-dimensional diagrams.The more concrete the variables, the more aesthetically elaborate the graphics sometimes reaching the point of art the more abstract, the simpler the readability.The abundant examples in Data Flow showcase the various methodologiesbehind information design with solutions concerning complexity, simplification,readability and the (over)production of information. In addition to the examplesshown, the book features explanatory text.On 256 pages, Data Flow introduces a comprehensive selection of innovativelydesigned diagrams. This up-to-date survey provides inspiration and concretesolutions for designers, and at the same time unlocks a new field of visual codes. Read more
