Some great examples of information design

Designing information can help us see data in ways that help us achieve specific goals. Well designed data ends up having little text yet the information is delivered through a variety of visual means. That’s how we learned in kindergarten, using pictures and picture books. We process images way faster than we process words.

The Vignet Labs blog posted a great article that show some great examples of information design.

For more information on the subject here are some of my fav books:

Anything by Edward Tufte (The top four results)

The Best Information Diagrams 2 (steep price, still trying to get my hands on #3)
