(1996) Information Graphics: Design of Understanding

Description

From the outset, this series was conceived as an informational graphic. Diagrams and illustrations drive the text, layout, and overall construction of the piece so that the reader can move freely from image to words and back again. By simplifying and explaining the complicated and the unfamiliar, the design offers the reader a broad view of an entire process — laying a foundation that makes it easier to absorb specific information or to understand related subjects.
