Résumé

The information age has brought inconceivable amounts of data to every aspect of our lives, at home and in the office, for leisure and travel, for shopping and banking. While the internet gives a sense of infinite freedom and instantaneous access to valuable resources, navigating and understanding incalculable streams of information can be maddening. Web designers are beginning to realize that it is not just how good the homepage looks, but how quickly and easily information can be displayed, accessed and delivered.

Digital Information Graphics confronts the issues that directly affect our interaction with the screen, whether for the World Wide Web, multimedia programs or small-screen devices like mobile phones or PDAS. Considering the most effective way to present deep arrays of data, the book is based on principles and strategies that are set out in examples and case studies in four sections. 'Mapping' displays complex spaces, environments and infrastructure in simple and comprehensive ways; 'Informing' analyzes the presentation of data gathered from such areas as communication, demographics and news; 'Interacting' visualizes a complex event, action or process, such as a conversation between two or more people in a chatroom or a relationship between human and computer; and 'Exploring' pushes today's technology to its limits, resulting in new ways to navigate a website or to work with the computer.

For just about any organization, whether a home office or major media corporation, information design is one of the most important elements of success, and yet, in an increasingly media-savvy age, it remains one of the most overlooked areas of graphics. With examples drawn from top information designers around the world, this book sets out to make a vital part of design available and useful to everyone living and working in the digital age.
