Information Graphics. - book review

(1998; $45), by Peter Wilbur and Michael Burke. Thames & Hudson Inc., 500 Fifth Ave., New York, NY 10110.

A powerhouse of new information on current practices by graphic designers appears in Information Graphics. The visual symbols and the methods of putting them into creative communication are so vast, that this book offers a wealth of new ideas for a young artist and designer. These ideas are set out in visual evidence by some of the best-known graphic artists. Projection through graphics has been widely enhanced through computer possibilities. The uses of color imagery, psychology of perception and reproduction technology have changed the way information graphics are conceived, produced and are impacting our world today.--I.E.J.
