Muy bueno el diseño de las FAQs, a mano izquierda la pregunta frecuente y a mano derecha la respuesta. Es el mismo formato tipo nota marginal que aparece en muchos ejemplares de la Constitución Española o las notas en los márgenes que hacÃan los amanuenses antes de la Edad Media

This assignment, led by Brian Lucid at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, investigates the transformation of raw data into comprehensible information.
The first phase of the assignment entails gathering a simple data set and defining methods to structure that data. The second phase involves extracting findings from the data and conveying that information clearly (through numeric representation) and engagingly (through design and metaphor) via a large-scale printed diagram.
Itâs no secret that we live in a data driven world: a world where technology has allowed us to get to the point where, according to IBM, more than 90% of the worldâs data was created in the last two years alone. It is a phenomenon that has led to the emergence of data science and data scientists, the increased need for statisticians, and experts in informational design such as Edward Tufte, fellow of the American Statistical Organization.
The problem is that the massive amount of data that we generate is difficult to keep up with, access, comprehend, and thus effectively use to our benefit.
The Purpose of Data Visualization:
Emerging heavily as a result within the last few years are data visualization tools, designed to help us work more effectively with data.
Most of us interpret and understand information best visually and thus information visualization is often key to true comprehension. Data visualization is, as its name suggests, a visual representation of data, its main benefits being in making complex data more accessible, interpretable, and presentable. It is closely related to the fields of information visualization, information graphics, scientific visualization, and statistical graphics.
David McCandless, London based author, data journalist, information designer, and founder of the website Information is Beautiful acknowledges that, in an age where we are often plagued by âinformation overload,â in addition to looking really cool, visualizing information allows us to see patterns and connections that matter and thus design information to make more sense, to focus only on the information thatâs important, and to tell stories.
Challenges and Limitations of Data Visualization Tools:
The challenge in not only recognizing the value in big data, but in actually making use of it, lies in the ability to effectively understand it. There are some obvious limitations when it comes to using data visualization tools to decode your data and actually benefit from the results.
The original ZoomCharts team recognized these limitations. There was no data visualization library available where data could be explored interactively on all modern devices. What was out there was either data visualization tools where data could be displayed on modern devices in static visualizations, or where it could be displayed interactively, but not on all modern devices.
How ZoomCharts Aimed to Solve These Issues:
The story of how ZoomCharts got started began with recognizing the limitations of simply working with current technology, and not anticipating the needs and desires arising with the advancement of newer and future technologies. The teamâs focus thus became creating charts and graphs that would be supported by the technology of tomorrow. The resulting software:
⢠Is 100% interactive and responsive, allowing users to see only the information they need, and drill down further into the data when necessary
⢠Is able to support massive data sets
⢠Works with any modern device, including tablets, phones, and other mobile devices that use touch screens, giving users the ability to tap, swipe, and pinch their way to exploring the intricacies of their data
⢠Performs at incredibly fast speeds, with no lag or waiting time involved when making changes to data presentation, even with big data sets

Computational Information Design
The ability to collect and store data continues to increase, but our ability to understand it remains unchanged. Data visualization makes use of our evolutionary proclivity for decoding visual images and employs this ability as a high-bandwidth means of getting data into our heads. In this talk, I'll present work I've developed ranging from illustrations of data for magazines and journals to software tools used by geneticists to interactive applications for Fortune 10 companies.

The Vessel Series is a five-piece set of informational booklets on deadly viral diseases specifically Measles, Yellow Fever, Ebola, Dengue Fever and Influenza A. The overall content and tone of writing reflect the core purpose of the booklets, which is to provide intermediate-level education about virus-caused illnesses to unfamiliar audiences.
The booklets re-interpret diagrams from Biology textbooks (which tend to be somewhat confusing and over-complicated) using simplified construction paper cut-outs and labelled mylar overlays, thereby conveying the traditionally-scientific material in a more digestible, accessible, friendly and refreshing manner. The mylar overlays specifically act as a labelled barrier between information and image, allowing readers to appreciate the construction paper diagrams on their own, or as a part of the whole educative experience.
Each booklet contains a brief introduction about the featured disease, followed by key historical facts, demographic statistics, and a series of diagrams showcasing the virus' interactions with the human body (i.e. damaging crucial organs, disrupting important cell processes, etc.). Various scientific publications and web resources (especially the World Health Organization website) were consulted/referenced in the writing, crafting, and overall creation of the booklets.
