Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information

by Manuel Lima
Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information
Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information

Unveiling beauty in complex data through design.

If the sheer volume of data available today overwhelms you, Visual Complexity could be your visual aid to comprehension. Manuel Lima showcases how intricately designed visuals can help distill complex information, making it more accessible and even aesthetically pleasing. This book isn't just a collection of images; it's an exploration into how the right visuals can transform our understanding of the networks and systems that surround us. For anyone fascinated by the intersection of data, design, and technology, this book is a compelling dive into the art of information.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Our ability to generate information now far exceeds our capacity to understand it. Finding patterns and making meaningful connections inside complex data networks has emerged as one of the biggest challenges of the twenty-first century. In recent years, designers, researchers, and scientists have begun employing an innovative mix of colors, symbols, graphics, algorithms, and interactivity to clarify, and often beautify, the clutter. From representing networks of friends on Facebook to depicting interactions among proteins in a human cell, Visual Complexity presents one hundred of the most interesting examples of information-visualization by the field's leading practitioners.
