Story
Introducing a clear and concise framework for a developing discipline at the intersection between data science, data visualization, graphic design, coding, journalism and communication, this book opens new perspectives for all readers.
Straightforward and user-friendly, The Modular Information Design Handbook demonstrates that dealing with complex or unstructured numbers and texts can lead to creative and playful designs.


10 years of experience in one book
Explaining complexity isn’t always simple. Especially when you’re trying to do it with information design. And if you don’t know where to start, the process can be totally daunting.
So we developed the easy-to-use Modular Information Design (MID) framework and laid it all out in this beautifully crafted book.
Visualizing Complexity, the Modular Information Design Handbook is a functional publication that introduces MID—an adaptive system for anyone wishing to communicate information through design.
Modular Information Design is a straightforward and user-friendly way of transforming complex or unstructured numbers and texts into creative and playful designs.
Consisting of 80 elements, organized into four dimensions, Visualizing Complexity brings data and Swiss graphic design together in a creative, coherent form, complemented by practical application examples.
Our book explains the journey, from text to data, through a storyline that covers all steps necessary to create multidimensional visualizations.





Simple, beautiful, and easy to digest
- MID is much more than theoretical; it’s application-oriented.
- It’s written for anyone thinking about visualizing data.
- It’s for anyone wishing to level up their chart design game.




A constant source of inspiration
- MID is a manual; all parts and instructions are put together in one place.
- Simple instructions for encoding and decoding allow readers to analyze and create appealing DataViz.
- With MID, there’s no right or wrong; instead, readers are simply invited to explore and push their design boundaries.

Step-by-step, from text to data
- MID graphically explains all steps from data to multidimensional visualization through a storyline that runs through the book.
- Demonstrates how you can transform unstructured text into structured data, ready for visualization.
- The book demonstrates all elements of the MID, with instructions on how to use the system.
- There are multidimensional visualizations throughout.

Say goodbye to templates
- Designers can now avoid using standard diagrams or stock images as decoration.
- They can use design to get right to the point without going overboard.
- Encourages creativity with facts without distorting them.

FAQ
How much is shipping?
We add shipping charges only when we are about to ship the products, which protects us from unexpected surges in postal rates. This puts the risk of rising shipping costs onto you, the backers, but gaming companies have gone bankrupt over this very issue. We strive to get products in the mail to backers as quickly as we can manage it to mitigate this risk.
I forgot to contribute; can I contribute after the fact?
Once fulfillment is done for Kickstarter backers, if there are any extra copies, they will become available on the website.
