Infographics Design

Only the Tokyo-based design publisher BNN would create a book on how to
spruce up boring graph-driven Power Point presentations. Infographics Design is
an indispensable resource for designers, public relations personnel and anyone
who needs to condense and convey statistical information in today's information
society. This beautifully illustrated compendium of infographics and data visualization
is divided into five parts including Graphs and Charts, Maps, Pictograms,
Motion Graphics and Interactive Graphics. Focusing on expressive methods
for use with infographic and data visualization, it presents hundreds of creative
designs from around the world. Each entry is referenced with a brief text on its
intent and use. In the introduction, Takashi Murakami of Kartz Media Works,
who runs the world's largest infographic community website, Infogra.me, discusses
how to create infographics and suggests some key points when creating these
effective but engaging digital designs.
