Resource Of The Week 1/6/2010 : Diagrams

Our first recommended resource of 2010 is ‘Diagrams: Innovative Solutions for Graphics Designers‘ by Jessica Glaser and Carolyn Knight.

Commissioning bespoke diagrams is an expensive and time-consuming solution. This book offers a collection of exemplary, creative, and imaginative information design, shown in its original application and juxtaposed with the reference material used for each piece of work, along with a CD of images that designers can adopt and adapt to create their own diagrams.

Every design included in the book is analyzed, and clip-art features, such as arrows, flows, and boxes are also included. Diagrams offers a unique approach to the organization of information and provides fresh thinking and imaginative solutions, making this an indispensable and inspirational reference book.
