Read Between the Leading - Episode #16

Huffduffed by harriyott on May 19th, 2009

On this episode we discuss data visualization as the new path and frontier for graphic design, and how graphic design has treated communication of information in the past. We also discuss the definition of graphic design, focusing on Meggs’ quote, and specifically the idea of designers creating artifacts that document human experience.

We unveil our final refined mark and discuss the process we took to get there, and finally we answer a question and review some previous discussions from our spec work episode, 15.

As always, we ask for your comments and love hearing from you. Feel free to call, send in an mp3 or text comment to readbetweentheleading@gmail.com, or find us on twitter @rbtlshow.

“the essence is to give order to information, form to ideas, expression and feeling to artifacts that document human experience.” - Phillip Meggs

  2. Let’s See What We Can See (Everybody Online And Looking Good) by Mike Migurski and Ben Cerveny

    Piece by piece, the world is moving onto the web. "Things informationalize," as Stamen advisor Ben Cerveny puts it. How can we make sense of this new torrent of information emerging wide-eyed and blinking into the internet? Stamen’s Michal Migurski will show how information visualization is making it possible to comprehend a live, vast, and deep connected web of data, with a special focus on interactive and geographic work.

    Stamen partner Michal Migurski leads the technical and research aspects of Stamen’s work, moving comfortably from active participation in Stamen’s design process, designing data, prototyping applications, to creating the dynamic projects that Stamen delivers to clients.

    Ben Cerveny is a strategic and conceptual advisor to Stamen, helping to articulate an approach toward creative visualization and to evaluate and develop potential partners and engagements relative to that vision.
