We just received our copy of Gestalten’s Around the World. We’re very happy to be featured in their contemporary Atlas, next to so many other, beautiful projects. Seriously one of the most exceptional books in the last years, which provides incredible depth on various topics. Shouldn’t be missing on any graphic designer’s and data visualisation artists’ library!

Emily Croll, the director of the TCNJ, just sent me some photos, as we have not been able to be there in person. Thanks! Looked great in the space there.

It’s been a while, but I just opened the book “Generative Gestaltung” by Hartmut Bohnacker, Benedikt Groß, Julia Laub and Claudius Lazzeroni again. Shame on me that I didn’t post this earlier. It is absolutely amazing and a must for everyone working in the area of graphic design. It contains well-selected examples of generated graphics and very useful examples. Plus, the design of the book itself is outstanding. But the best thing is, it features Similar Diversity on 2 pages!

They printed our work in the section “Datanets” on a whole spread, which is great because you can see all the tiny details. It’s a great book with fabulous works, for example Stefan Sagmeister’s and Ben Cohen’s Move Our Money, an inflateable data visualisation of military budgets, or the great World Mapper – and so many I haven’t seen yet. On the page following ours is the work of Felix Heinen, which we like a lot. It’s a book well worth studying. Here are some impressions:





Again, here’s the link if you want to order it.
