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

visualising complex content
Sometimes diagrammatic language is usually associated with static print or digital projects, such as information graphics or diagrammatic maps. However, this language can be also used in 4D projects, such as animations and videos, to visualise complex information. As can

Some terms related to diagrams (and also to design) strategies, language, layout, and so on are often misused or misunderstood: – When is a diagram simple? – When a diagram is simple is because it has few elements… and when
