This is the DensityDesign’s whiteboard, as usual, full of projects and thoughts. Each week (about), we’ll post on Flickr a picture of our whiteboard to keep you updated on our activities.
Stay tuned!

Visual Cooking | Variazioni grafiche in cucina
April 22nd, 2009 No Comments
Finally we’re able to show the result of a side project, part of the DensityDesign Lab teaching program: the visualization of complex experiences and processes. Our students faced the preparation of “Risotto al radicchio tardivo”, a traditional Italian dish. Like any cooking experience, it can’t be exhaustively represented by linear languages (i.e. textual recipes). It’s [...]

After Samuel Granados, I’ve to compliment two other talented graphic designers that passed through our Density Design course: Francesco Franchi and Luca Pitoni (is also Ilaria Tomat still part of the staff?).

Design + Statistics

I couldn’t agree more with one of the last post of Nathan in FlowingData:
“Basically, what I’m trying to say is that design can do wonders for visualization, yes, but so can analysis. Put the two together, and you’re going to gain a much better understanding of a dataset than if you were to have just [...]

Complexity, Complication, Visualization and Interaction
March 24th, 2009 No Comments
According to the article of Veronique Greenwood in SEED Magazine about data visualization, complication is the problem, and interaction is the solution: “One way to solve the problem of overly complicated diagrams is to introduce interactivity.” Interactivity is also a way to escape the flatness of certain maps: “interactive displays may be much more useful [...]

Fold it, it makes sense! Six stories about poverty.

Who are the poor? Poverty is neither a number nor an index. It cannot be reduced to a line that divides those who are above and those who are below establishing a unique space for social exclusion. Poverty is a multidimensional and complex phenomenon. Its reduction to a unique representation can generate distorted visions of the phenomenon and create ineffective or counterproductive interventions.

Spreading Density

Another step forward: one of the (art?)works done by our students has been chosen to illustrate an article in The Morning News. The title of the article is Mindfuck movies, and talks about understanding and explaining, especially when it comes to Memento, the subject of our exercise. Understanding and explaining: that’s DensityDesign!
