New Playful Data: Graphic Design and Illustration for Infographics features brilliant and illustrative infographic projects from gifted graphic designers, illustrators, artists, and even scientists.

Not only do the samples visualize data in a tangible and memorable way through playful illustrations, but they also provide inspiration for balancing colors, words, and images, as well as for distinguishing between primary and secondary information when data is presented alongside pictures.

The projects in this volume are divided into three main categories: statistical findings, flow diagrams, and instruction and explanation. Some of the projects illustrate data acquired from rigorous and precise scientific research, while others are the product of designers’ imagination and experimentation. It’s time to learn to play with data!

Includes the prefatory essay, "Playing is Beautiful," by graphic designers Pablo Galeano and Francesco Furno of Relajaelcoco.
