Unit 3 Reading

This chapter covered many different information graphic case studies. What was interesting about all of these was how diverse the information was from each graphic. These types of graphics are created to draw relationships between information in order for the audience to draw their own conclusions. Information design requires a lot of research from the designer, because in designing these you must have knowledge on the subject in order to create make information clear to other people. Something also important is as a designer you must have passion for the subject.

"I always have to figure out which bits are better said in pictures and which are better said in words. And then I have to think about how to do both concisely." -Nigel Holmes.
