form: The Making of Design
May/June 2009
Switzerland

In this issue: A genre reinvents itself. Only a few years ago there was hardly a designer around bothered about them, today info-graphics are akin to visual fireworks.

Karianne Fogelberg spoke with leading info-graphic designers and reports on the fine line between info-design and 'info-porn', a frenzy of effects with no real advantage.
