problem
Present sometimes complex data sets in a succinct manner that reveals the most critical aspects of the story told by the research data. In most cases, use of color was not an option, and most pages were self-contained, focusing on a single point. I needed to produce a great many of these information graphics, precluding some more illustrative design approaches.
solution
I analyzed the data and designed charts, graphs, and diagrams of various kinds to make the stories buried in the data as clear as possible, always diligent to avoid techniques that could distort or obscure the truth of the data. I created the graphic in Adobe Illustrator and did the page layout in Adobe InDesign.
note
This is one of thousands of similar pages I created for a series of publications from a research firm. I designed and created the information graphics generated from spreadsheet data, performed some of the copy editing and typographic design, and executed all layout and typesetting.
