VISUALIZING COMPLEX DATAKarin Andenæs og Hans Haugli
Information graphics or infographics are visual representations of information, data or knowledge. These graphics are used where complex information needs to be explained quickly and clearly, such as in signs, maps, journalism, technical writing, and education. They are also used extensively as tools by computer scientists, mathematicians, and statisticians to ease the process of developing and communicating conceptual information.

INFORMATION GRAPHICS
«Diagram graphics are something like cars: they get us from one place to another. While cars transport us from city to city, diagram graphics take us on another kind of journey – from data to understanding.»
Nigel Holmes, Explanation graphics
VARIOUS PROJECTS
«… through design visually presented facts and statistics are able to simultaniously communicate data and trigger emotional responses to that information based on its appearance.»
Katha Dalton, Hornall Anderson Design Works
Illustrations by Commando Group
«… when the opportunity arises to successfully elaborate with creative ideas, the medium can be elevated to visual poetry, injecting the message with wit and meaning that will tell a richer story and reflect an image of intelligence upon the organisation concerned.»
Tor Pettersen, Tor Pettersen & Partners

Sett deg inn i og forstå innholdet
Bryt oppgaven og innholdet inn i mindre deler
Minimér/eliminér elementer som ikke bidrar til å forklare tallene eller fortelle historien
Tenk på målgruppen – hvem skal forstå innholdet
Tenk utenfra og inn, ikke innenfra og ut
For avanserte eller overdesignede grafer eller modeller forhindrer ofte kommunikasjonen
Forhold deg til avsenders grafiske profil, men se etter grafiske elementer i virksomhetens produkter eller tjenester som du kan bruke
