Graphis / Diagrams: The Graphic Visualization of Abstract Data

“Selected with the graphic designer in mind who is often faced with the difficult task of having to present a body of information in diagrammatic form, this international review will serve as an abundant source of inspiration. It also demonstrates convincingly that statistical and diagrammatic graphics do not need to be dull, that the creative designer can introduce an imaginative touch without loss of ‘legibility’. There are six sections: (1) statistical, comparative diagrams; (2) flow diagrams, organization and time charts; (3) diagrams visualizing functions, processes; (4) tabulations, timetables; (5) cartographic diagrams, decorative maps; (6) diagrams used as design elements.”
