Making visual sense of all that data requires a fine balance between complexity and simplicity. Data Flow: Visualising Information in Graphic Design is an absolutely beautiful collection of some of the finest examples of the art.

Craig Berger Wayfinding. Designing and Implementing Graphic Navigational Systems Rotovision 2009 ISBN-13: 978-2880468187

As more spaces turn into public areas and become increasingly complicated, people, more than ever, need to know where they are and where they are going. To bring clarity to this confusion, graphic design is crucial, but the design of wayfinding systems is also a collaborative process. This is a stress-relieving handbook for designers working across all disciplines. Exciting illustrations and case studies look at how to incorporate logos, graphics, color, and type to relate a complete wayfinding system to the character of a city, exhibition, or sportsground, and to represent its unique qualities. Checklists of requirements provide a blueprint for developing successful and attractive wayfinding systems. Every aspect is detailed, including stakeholder groups; criteria of specific jobs; design elements; fabrication, installation, and placement of signs and banners; and maintenance and management systems. graphic designing Wayfinding: Designing and Implementing Graphic Navigational Systems from graphic designing Top Gallery

Costa, Joan. Diseñar para los ojos. Grupo editorial Design, Bolivia, 2003.

Es un libro múltiple. Abarca diferentes enfoques sobre la filosofía, la ética y la práctica del diseño gráfico desde una concepción creativa, abierta y nada tradicional. Y desmitifica al mismo tiempo falsas creencias pero muy arraigadas, que distorsionan la recta sencillez de las buenas ideas. Al recorrer los caminos de este estimulante viaje, el lector atravesará las rutas que le llevan a conocer las estrategias de la mirada, y avanzará entre agudas y documentadas observaciones, siempre originales. Recorrerá los variados capítulos sobre investigaciones de percepción de la imagen y en legibilidad textual; semiótica gráfica; manejo expresivo del color; identidad corporativa; señalética; diseño de información; lenguajes gráficos; esquemática; e-design e infografía; y el diseño en la vida cotidiana.
