More about the book
Visual Function: An Introduction to Information Design presents and discusses a variety of graphics used in transmitting information, analysing signs, graphs, and charts through a method similar to that found in Edward Tufte’s books (Envisioning Information and The Visual Display of Quantitative Information), which have had an enormous influence on today’s graphic designers. With copious colour- and black-and-white illustrations, this book examines aeroplane safety cards, street maps, road signs, instruction booklets, corporate logos, underground maps, magazine advertisements, cookbooks, computer diagrams, and car manuals, all as a means of explaining how information can be conveyed without words.
