Information design gives alternate perspectives

Good writing may make information so much more accessible. But information design can make it so much richer.

Click here for some amazing ways to visualise information from Joy Division tracks to diseases... A research project at Columbia University has mapped the overlap between 161 different diseases by studying epidemiological data from 1.5 million patients. The results show how design can become analysis. Read about the project in this article in Technology Review, July 2007.

Thanks to Garth for sending me the link to this sum-up article in Smashing Magazine, August 2007.

Cheers
Frances
