The traditional graphic design standard books are mostly based on long text content, boring and inconvenient, they are hard to read. Therefore, “Diagram of Graphic Design Specification” make the graphic design specification in accordance with the font, layout, color, graphic design and printing and so on the basis of the compiled into knowledge, using the graphic design let an interesting boring information into visual information graph, facilitate graphic design beginners understanding, memory and access to the basic knowledge of graphic design.

Our work is a visual design around the compendium of materia medica, which includes information charts, posters and app interface presentations. We have ten parts in the body of the 10 kinds of common diseases of finishing prescription in the treatment of these conditions in the book, and each medicine prescription contains comprehensive information, through the way of information visualization rendering compendium of materia medica Chinese medicinal materials of various properties. The aim is to combine information design with traditional medicine and promote the traditional culture with the new information dissemination method.

The Hubble Space Telescope is a space telescope that was launched in1990, which was named after Edwin Powell Hubble, who passed away 37 years before the launch of the telescope. Why such a high honor was given to this person? You may find the answer after going through his 64-year life presented in the following infographic.

I took the content of the “terms of service” of the leading online services that we use on a daily basis (including Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder etc.). I’ve printed them on a standard A4 wide scroll with a standard legal contract font size and type. After printing this so-called terms, I hanged the scrolls in the gallery at the academy, added the number of words and the time it takes to read each scroll on the floor. My main goal was to emphasize how small, helpless and harmful are we against this giant corporates.

A great number of websites have used and are still using the analogy between ships and cars when it comes to the topic of maritime industry’s pollution. Headlines such as : “World’s 15 Biggest Ships Create More Pollution Than All The Cars In The World” are popping up across the internet. In this multiplication of articles, published by many websites around the world, it is hard, even barely possible to find the sources and origins of this calculation.
This online platform is made for gathering the articles all together to allow a simplified entrance into the topic. The website offers three different types of visualization/navigation in order to materialize the links inside this mass of articles and the progressive alteration of information.

In the context of understanding the complex phenomenon of violent religious radicalization, the map details the journey of ISIS’ foreign fighters to and from the territories of the Caliphate. In addition to publicly available data about their journey, the map depicts the distance of each country from the destination, its total population, and Islamic population.

The result of the inspiration from Georges Perec was a variety of experimental mapping methods which I employed to produce a series of 3 works, titled Observing the City. The French author Georges Perec’s works, called An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris demonstrated a scrupulous observation and realistic, unadorned description of people, objects and places, and did not exclude unnoticeable or recurring things. It led me to ponder how to define information design, and focus my mapping research on how to render multi-angle visual narratives by fully utilizing the characteristics of maps. All the surroundings and things I had seen in Eindhoven became a living database all of a sudden.

«Many ways lead to Rome», just like my everyday bicycle track. Each morning I choose, between three different routes through the city, to get to university. Each way is, as such, equally exhausting, stressful and annoying. Many crossings, a lot of traffic, and waiting at red lights can make the journey quite unappealing. This work illustrates how many crossings I must wait to turn, or cross the road. Each symbol represents a crossing within a distance of a hundred meters: the center point is myself on my bicycle and the bold line shows my route. The symbols themselfs are not sorted by a particular route so that you can choose by yourself which way you want to go.

In March 2015 the collective VOLUCE was engaged in the problem of abandoned places in Milano, starting the project SPOGLIE. The research was divided into two phases: first, we collected data and pictures of the areas then, designing the book, we acknowledge how to visually represent them.

Thanks to Basil.js we were able to process 330+ places, managing their metadata, drawings and satellite pictures. The code we wrote captured the information from Google Maps and a datasheet organizing them into the book. Due to the complexity of the information, the use of a programming language was a fundamental aspect to visualize and understand the data. The final outcome is a connection between the architectural space and its digital representation.
