In this spirit, Per Mollerup discusses information design with great clarity. The proposed data displays are as simple as possible, and every graphic element is there to convey meaning. This book is not about data decoration.Data Design can be read from cover to cover, but it doesn't have to be. It can also serve as a reference guide.
