So I took some quick photos of my book I'm selling on eBay (auction ends Dec 08, 2009 20:28:55 PST).
Graphis Diagrams: The Graphic Visualization of Abstract Data, Walter Herdeg, Second Edition, 1976.
Shot through a light tent, SB-600 camera left, SB-900 camera right.
The title of this machinery is as complex as its purpose. 77YA6 Voronezh — M/DM — is the Russian stationary over-horizon radar early warning system of missile warning and space surveillance. The cost of creating — 1.5 billion rubles.
CLASS: Information Design w/ Prof Craig Steen
Poster 1 of 5.
The set will examine the entire life cycle of Starbucks coffee-- this first poster looks only at the raw materials.
**The type in the upper right will be treated with more care. This is supposed to be the "rough sketch" phase. Obviously I got carried away.

Random Lines
Automatisierte Zeichenmaschinen
Wer sich letzte Woche im Foyer der Holzstraße über die miteinanderverzahnten raumgreifenden Scheiben wunderte, dem wird an dieser Stelle nun die Auflösung geboten: Bei dem beeindruckenden, aber arachisch wirkenden Konstrukt handelte sich um eine automatisierte Zeichenmaschine, die mit Little-Bits-Komponenten gebaut wurde und grafische Markierungen auf Papier hinterlässt. Littlebits wiederum sind elektronische Bausteine, die magnetisch mit einander verbunden variable Lösungen ermöglichen. Input- und Outputmodule werden durch Stromzufuhr, Regler und Sensoren ergänzt und ermöglichen so ohne Programmierung individuelle Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten. Das Seminar »Random Lines« unter der Leitung von Prof. Anna-Lisa Schönecker und Benjamin Knichel nutzt Littlebits um eigenwillige Maschinen zu konstruieren, die automatisierte Zeichenserien erstellen.

WHS Gala 2010-02 Leitsystem Bürohaus Beschriftungen
Design of the signage system for the new WHS building
Rob Phillips (rdphillips.co.uk ) and I ran a stall at Brighton Mini Maker Faire 2012 asking visitors about their experiences with instructions, and how to make them better. Instructions are important to the Maker movement - following what others have done is often what helps people get into making, but the quality, style and assumed level of knowledge can vary significantly (there are parallels with documentation issues in open source software).
Our Maker Faire activity included asking visitors to create their own instructions for someone else - either how to make a cup of tea, or how to make fire. Thanks to Rob's expertise in the latter area, we had a bow drill and lots of different possible materials to experiment with, although of course we couldn't actually let people light any fires in the hall, so a hastily-conceived Arduino blinking a random pattern of red, yellow and orange LEDs had to suffice.
Once we've read through all the postcards people very kindly (and enthusiastically) filled in, we'll be able to extract some insights - from a preliminary look through, it's clear there's a mix of very visual and text-based preferences, with some interesting combinations, and some people basically not liking following instructions at all. And, very wonderfully, an instruction video filmed and uploaded to YouTube on the spot.
Keep an eye on rdphillips.co.uk and danlockton.co.uk for the results of the exercise - and thanks to everyone who took part, and helped, including the brilliant volunteers from the Maker Faire organisers.

Clemson University doctoral candidate A.D. Carson defends his dissertation in the Watt Family Innovation Center auditorium, Feb. 24, 2017. Carson, a candidate in Clemson’s Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design (RCID) Ph.D. program, produced a 34-track rap album titled “Owning my Masters: The Rhetorics of Rhymes and Revolutions” as opposed to the traditional written dissertation.

A follow up to my first schedule design, this one features the complex combination of the bus routes from the U-District going into Downtown Seattle with very frequent service and long spans. The current schedule Metro's using (located on the Ave at 43rd) requires a holder that's about 3 times as wide as the standard holder, plus the text is all squeezed and tiny. This design only requires one.
The Night Owl box looks out of place but it's eye catching. I ran out of space and wanted to fit everything into a standard size insert.
I also experimented with variations of the stem-and-leaf design for the Saturday and Sunday times. Hours which have the same trips at the same time are now grouped into one line. This is more efficient.
While the weekend hours column all have am/pm designators, the weekday's column only has am/pm for midnight and noon to reduce clutter. I really wanted to use the 24-hour format but many people in this country aren't going to understand it.
The standard information block is essentially the same. I didn't have enough space to put in the travel times block. It goes to show how much more information density can be achieved with this design.
As for the schedule symbols, there were 4 in this schedule. All are typographical features, not additional letters. Using the Helvectica Neue LT font, there are about 6 unique variations with the same width. If too many are used, people with sight disabilities may have trouble distinguishing between different type forms. They can use (206) BUS-TIME instead. We don't have timetables in Braille.

This assignment, led by Brian Lucid at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, entails the creation of a large printed diagram that visually explains how to perform a complex physical action to a group of people who have never performed that action before.

A piece of information design, mapping my friends and families best intentions from midnight on New Years Eve 2007 throughout the following year. I later decided to send them out to all the people involved as a New Years card for 2008. The communication is as simplified as possible with each participant allocated a colour. This is then applied to he name the resolution and the length of time and sustained effort of each person.

Design of the signage system for the new WHS building
A series of research works about the Great Patriotic War (World War II). Forces from both sides of the state border area were quantitatively about equal with a significant domination of Soviet tanks and aircraft by the beginning of military actions at June, 22 1945.
Up in York, I grabbed a bus from the university back to the train station. It was an OMGWTFBBQ-bus-from-teh-future.
The screen up on the wall there showed the route, which stop we were approaching, which were coming up, and gave all sorts of handy advice. It also showed shots from the onboard CCTV (as seen here), which must go a long way to help ensure safety of both passengers and staff.
The ticket machine was also onboard the bus, so you could just climb on board and sort out your ticket as the bus travels. Teh awsome.
I recently finished Steven Johnson's 'The Ghost Map' charting the Cholera outbreak in 1854 that ravaged London's Soho district.
A physician named John Snow produced a great data visualisation map that not only brought an end to the Cholera epidemic by proving that Cholera was water born, but he also changed the way urban communities thrive to this day.
I decided to pay a quick 'informational geek pilgrimage' whilst in London recently to pay tribute to John Snow and his map.

A zoom-rect eminates from the product and an in-page pop-up appears. This is what Gap is giving the marketing gimmicky name "QuickLook." (I sympathize with them, as this is not an easy feature to name. Perhaps "Quick Add" or "Sizes and Colors" or some non-marketese language would have done it.)
Look what we have already:
- A large product image, product name, price, "more details" - presumable for description and SKU
- Available sizes, colors, and inseams
- "More views," which seems in this case just to be a bigger view. A better name would be good here, as big pictures like this are critical in e-commerce. Good that this link is available from both tabs of the QuickLook
