I gave a science graphics talk yesterday for folks at Curtin U. So many great participant questions. One asked for refs that would also resonate w/folks in the humanities. My top pick hands-down is Graphesis: Visual Forms of Knowledge Production by Johanna Drucker www.hup.harvard.edu/books/978067...
Graphesis — Harvard University Press
In our current screen-saturated culture, we take in more information through visual means than at any point in history. The computers and smart phones that constantly flood us with images do more than...

Grading student works and realizing that young design students these days seem to be in need of some basic education on file size optimization. Like your infodesign poster with vector graphics and a beautiful paper texture doesn't strictly need to be over 140MB.

On the other hand, the ”infodesign is cool” bubble did increase recognition of the field and the use of infographics. This might also vary by country? In Finland the public sector is pretty big on infodesign, corporate less so.

Showed this classic Rosling talk in the Aalto uni infodesign class today.
It is soon 20 years old. No-one had seen it before.
I still think it holds up pretty well, also interesting that the liberation of data siloed in databases that he calls for basically happened!

The best stats you've ever seen
You've never seen data presented like this. With the drama and urgency of a sportscaster, statistics guru Hans Rosling debunks myths about the so-called "developing world."

Tried a new extra assignment for this year's infodesign course where students are told to find a graphic they like (or dislike), screenshot it and write analysis and commentary around and on it.
From the submissions it feels both fun and successful, it is also hard to cheat-complete with LLMs.

I have a pet theory that some graphic designers tired of infodesign (it slowly stopped being ”trendy” like it was around 2010) when they realized it tends to be more table drudgery and less doing cool-looking graphics… like you need to care about all these things that don’t show in the result.

It probably helped that we were teaching an infodesign course at a prestigious university at the time, and dataviz was just starting to become more mainstream (around 2010). Right place & time, I guess.
