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 [...]

It’s a great pleasure for us and a great boost to our work being reviewed ten times as great infographers and knowledge visualizators

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?). They are in charge (Francesco is the art director) for the design of the magazine “IL – Intelligence in Lifestyle”, edited by Il [...]

“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 [...]

From NewYork Times Interactive comes this simple visualization of the “common mood” during last SuperBowl.
As the Steelers and Cardinals battled on the field, Twitter users across the nation pecked out a steady stream of “tweets.” The map shows the location and frequency of commonly used words in Super Bowl related messages.

Mozzilla is calling for Designers to answer the question: What if there was a way to show people how the Mozilla project operates?

On this assumptions some mathematicians recently modeled a love relationship in terms of dynamic system. One of the case study of this kind of works is Jules et Jim, the autobiographical novel of Henri Pierre Roché and his cinematographic [...]

It’s a big pleasure to spread the link to a very recent work of Samuel Granados Lopez. He was part of the Density Design family as a student, and graduated here at Politecnico di Milano – Faculty of Design in 2008 with a Master thesis project titled “Infographics as a tool for social communication: a [...]
