The first edition of the Information Design Workbook featured a project I’d directed for NRDC over 15 years ago. Now, the latest edition of the Information Design Workbook contains work from my tenure as Director of Experience Design at TED.
I’m honored and grateful to have projects I contributed to featured in such an outstanding compendium of design. What I love most about this book is that it’s so much more than case studies. It’s part history, part theory, and part instruction. Unlike other books on the same topic, it’s wide-ranging, encompassing information design in all forms of media.
Kim Baer, the book’s author, eschews the academic’s dry approach to her subject in favor of a more pragmatic, hands-on analysis and critique, rich in imagery and insight. No surprise, since she’s a practitioner herself, leading the L.A.-based design studio, KBDA.
All of which is to say: if you love information design, or just want to learn more, grab a copy and let me know what you think.
