Information-Graphic Masterpieces: Designing Data Stories
May 5 @ 6:00 pm - 7:15 pm PDT
Sponsored by The Book Club of California.
Information graphics transform data into compelling visual narratives, illuminating insights that might otherwise remain hidden. From the earliest printed charts and maps to today’s innovative designs, these visuals bridge art and science, helping us engage with complex phenomena. Often featured within books—whether rare historical volumes or contemporary publications—information graphics elevate how we understand the world around us.
The presentation explores extraordinary examples of these visual tools, spanning from rare Enlightenment works to monumental statistical atlases. Alongside examining their unique aesthetic flourishes, this talk delves into the stories behind their creation and highlights key contributions from California. Many of the discussed publications will be on display for in-person attendees, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship and vision that bring data to life.
An in-person and virtual presentation by RJ Andrews, author of Info We Trust, series editor of Information Graphic Visionaries, and consulting data storyteller.
