Description

The visualization process doesn’t happen in a vacuum; it’s grounded in principles and methodologies of design, cognition, perception, and human-computer-interaction which are combined to one’s personal knowledge and creative experiences. Design for Information critically examines other design solutions —current and historic— helping you gain a larger understanding of how you can solve specific problems. This book is designed that will help you foster the development of a repertoire of existing methods and concepts that will help you overcome design problems.
 
Learn the fine details of data visualization with this informative book that will give you a series of current visualization case studies. The visualizations discussed are analyzed for their design principles and methods, giving you valuable critical and analytical tools to further develop your design process. The case study format of this book is perfect for discussing  the histories, theories and best practices in the field through real-world, effective visualizations. The selection represents a fraction of effective visualizations that we encounter on this burgeoning field, allowing you the opportunity to extend your study to other solutions to your specific field(s) of practice. This book may be helpful to students in other disciplines who are involved with visualizing information, such as those in the digital humanities and many of the sciences.
