商品描述

In Joyful Infographics: A Friendly, Human Approach to Data, one of the leading graphic designers of recent times shows how a judicious use of humor can make infographics more understandable. Written in non-academic, easy-to-understand language, and with historical and contemporary visual examples presented throughout, this small book provides a short history of light-hearted graphics. The text outlines nine clear ways to make graphics more understandable, explores the importance of the audience, shows you how to make information come alive during presentations through live-action 'performance' graphics, discusses why joy and smiling are good for you, and shows you how not to overdo it.

Even if a subject is delicate, controversial, or taboo, being graphically friendly to the audience is the right way to explain it. It is the opposite of being clinically cold and just presenting the facts. If you can get readers to smile--the smile of recognition when they understand the graphic--you are more than halfway toward getting them to continue reading, and understanding, the intention of the piece. Joyful Infographics teaches you how to do just that.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在《愉快的資訊圖表：友善、人性化的數據呈現方式》中，一位當代頂尖的平面設計師展示了如何巧妙運用幽默感使資訊圖表更易理解。這本小書以非學術、易於理解的語言撰寫，並通過歷史和當代的視覺範例來講解，提供了輕鬆有趣的圖形的簡短歷史。本書概述了九種使圖形更易理解的方法，探討了觀眾的重要性，並展示了如何通過現場演示的「表演」圖形使資訊更生動。此外，本書還討論了為什麼快樂和微笑對你有益，以及如何避免過度使用。即使主題敏感、有爭議或禁忌，以圖形友善的方式向觀眾解釋是正確的方法。這與冷靜、僅呈現事實的方式相反。如果你能讓讀者微笑——當他們理解圖形時的那種認同微笑——你已經成功了一半以上，讓他們繼續閱讀並理解作品的意圖。《愉快的資訊圖表》教你如何做到這一點。
