Communicating Knowledge Visually cover

Communicating Knowledge Visually presents a timely, in-depth examination of information design pioneer, Will Burtin. Using a methodical approach, the authors analyze Burtin's way of working and nine of his seminal projects, including his exhibitions for The Upjohn Company and diagrams for SCOPE magazine. Excerpts taken from Burtin's unpublished writing offer insight into his thinking process and explain how he transformed complex scientific information into easy, accessible visual forms. Scientists, designers, educators and students will gain valuable knowledge from Burtin's unique design approach in meeting the current challenges of communicating complexity in their respective fields.

In this text, Remington and Pontis break down the innovative philosophy and novel approach that brought Burtin's designs to life and secured his place as one of the great designers of the 20th century. For those who only recognize the name, have never seen his work, or have no clue of Burtin's integral role in contemporary strategic design, this book is for you. -- Steven Heller * The Daily Heller *
