We will pass through Paris on our way to the Istituto Europeo di Design next month, but boo, we just missed Design for Data, held there last week.
Sponsored by the International Institute for Information Design (IIID) and the OECD, the program featured a keynote called, “What, if …? Tools to help the public make difficult decisions“, and presentations by some great mentors of information design, including erstwhile star of TED conferences from the Karolinska Institutet, Hans Rosling (How to Increase Innovation in the Use of Statistics), Aaron Marcus (Cross-cultural User Experience Design and Information Visualisation), Paul Kahn (Creating Patterns that Connect – drawing overview maps of compex data networks) and even an old peer from the RCA CRD studio, Stephanie Hankey (Information Design for Advocacy and Campaigning).
