Six approaches to visualising complexity
As information designers, we often create visual representations of meaning to make hard-to-understand information (e.g. scientific information, highly technical, unknown) more accessible to a wider audience. When well-conceived, these visualisations translate complexity into a simpler way to communicate a key message. Visualisations also help understand patterns and

Applied information design: Simple & Functional
Every time I’m traveling, going to work or just walking around, I can’t help noticing the influence or the need of information design. Airports, roads and museums are some more obvious spaces in which applied information design can be frequently

Complexity ≠ Confusion
Complexity is an intrinsic part of life; it is normal and necessary, explains Norman (2011) in his book Living with Complexity. However, complexity is frequently pointed out as challenging and a product of our current society which makes communication and understanding

what does it mean?
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
