This morning I just received from Gestalten book (editor) my contributor’s copy of Data flow II.
The big size of the book send you straight to the heart of the matter! Well illustrated, it lacks a bit of theory for my taste, but this book will join his big brother Data Flow I in my library for sure. These two volumes offer a nice overview of data visualization today.

From the editor’s page:

“Data Flow 2 expands the definition of contemporary information graphics. The book features new possibilities for diagrams, maps, and charts and investigates the visual and intuitive presentation of processes and data. Eight comprehensive chapters illuminate how techniques such as simplification, abstraction, metaphor, and dramatization function. Data Flow 2 is a valuable reference offering practical advice, background, case studies, and inspiration.”

Price: € 49,90 / $ 78,00 / £ 45,00
Format: 24 x 30 cm
Features: 272 pages, full color, hardcover
ISBN: 978-3-89955-278-2

2010 is an opportunity to bring some changes!

After succeeded a master degree in typography in 2009 and made myself some experiences with various projects and collaborations, it was time for me to redo my website. I am therefore proud to present you a new portfolio, fully redesigned with updated works. I also added new sections like a blog with rss feeds to keep you informed about my projects and links to my social networks into the profile section. I hope to gain new refreshing contacts and exciting experiences with this new platform.

Enjoy your visit and if you want some additional information, go to the contact section!

The project Calendar 2009 was published in the book Flashback, Retro Design in Contemporary Graphics.

From the publisher’s website, Victionnary Books:

“Retro design has emerged today as designers begin to look back to the vivid 20th century and find inspirations for new graphic styles in the depressive pixel age. Some think the collective and sensational reference of the old time aesthetics is the retrieval of the lost enthusiasm for new findings and the future in the new century, others reckon it as a tribute to the prominent art and design movements between the roaring twenties and the early nineties. Taking a trip down memory lane and witnessing a bold and pronounced application of shapes, typefaces and illustration works in contemporary graphic art, Flashback unveils how the epoch persists to be an enduring spring inside modern creative studios in the well-defined sections of Geometry, Typography and Illustration.”

Thank you to them for the publication and for sending me a copy.
