Information surrounds us, yet the visual form, organization
and structure of informative graphics is one of the least
recognized design disciplines. As our physical and digital
environments grow increasingly complicated, there is greater
need for designers to 'transform information' from raw data,
into a clear visual form that effectively communicates ideas.
This design quality improves accessibility and enables the
user to 'extract' information as needed solely for their own
purpose, while the overall graphic provides information for
many different users.
Although the final graphics are based on content, they are
skillfully designed to maximize legibility and comprehension
for multiple-user scenarios. These examples demonstrate our
experience creating building directories and programming
signs; maps for orientation; narrative charts and diagrams
(used for publication or exhibits); system manuals; and
design of interactive web sites.
