the functional art: The Book
When I first heard of the functional art (Cairo, 2012), I asked myself: What makes this book different from the many other information graphics books which are currently out there? At the beginning, the word ‘functional’ caught my attention as

Function first, form second
It took me a bit longer than I have initially planned but I would like to share three key points that emerged from Malofiej 20. In my last post I delineated the relationship between information design and information graphics. Now

Start with the basics
‘We need to starts with the basics’ repeats one of my good friends quite often. Although she says this quote in a complete different context (she is not related to design at all), I found that these words summarise the

Diagramming/Mapping (complex) information
In the current information age there is a boom for visualising data, there is no doubt about that. Almost everything which is produced, it is visualised. Infographics, information design, diagrammatic representations, diagramming, data visualisation, mapping, these terms have become commonplace

20 Information Design Milestones
Throughout the history key movements, people, schools, organisations and publications have contributed to the development, evolution and consolidation of the information design field. Here it is a non-exhaustive personal selection of 20 of them: 1. Pre-cuneiform tablets (3000 bc). First

Information Architecture Model
Often, information designers are more concerned with learning techniques/tools and visual languages for visualising information and creating trendy information graphics (or infographics) than spending time understanding and organising the given information sources, and defining a solid conceptual structure.

Data Store is an interesting section of The Guardian where everyone can submit their own diagrams and information graphics. The aim of this section is to make complex information more accessible to people. Facts and figures are published using accessible
