When reading Infographics Design and Visualising Data, published by Promo Press, it discusses interviews with different designers on their view on what Infographics and designing to display information is about and also discusses each of their design processes.
Designer Derek Kim believes that infographics should portray data that is visualised through code and Design Studio Relajaelcoco believe that each project should involve a lot of fun and that playing around with ideas and design is the first step to reach a great level of illusion and engagement. They believe that rationality should be mixed with emotions to achieve the greatest possible design practice. They also believe that data visualisation and infographics should be the basis of a design education as they are a summary and include everything you learn from typography to layout.
Designer Francesco Franchi believes that data visualisation within a publication should consider identity, aesthetics, and both emotional and contextual research. He also says that it is important to delete excessive portions of the design to make it as clear and well read as could be, however you still need to make sure that the message is not lost.
However Peter Oentoft believes that play should not be as important s the initial research as the research you do is where all the answers and ideas for the final design come from. He believes that good design is a piece completely in every way shape and from has been shaped by research.
MGMT Design have two views, that whilst information does need to be shown and be easily communicated and read , the design still at the same time needs to be interesting for yourself as a designer and others, who are your audience. When displaying data as a form of design, it needs to have multiple levels of depth for it to be most engaging for the viewer and audience reading.
