A detailed look at the creative and analytical process of visualizing complex data, shown in works by over seventy international designers
See InsideOverview
Now that huge amounts of information can be gathered and processed with ever-greater speed, graphic designers and illustrators are playing a crucial role in explaining what all the collected data really means and how we can make sense of it to improve our personal and professional lives. More than just a survey of finished work, Raw Data gets behind the final image to reveal how a stack of numbers can be transformed into a beautiful image rich with meaning and explanation.
Among the international practices included are those who have been leading the way in the infographics revolution, along with a new generation of designers only just emerging from university.
