Synopsis

From the coauthors of Dear Data—hailed as a book of “visual poetry” for data collectors, designers, illustrators, and students—Observe, Collect, Draw! offers a mini crash course in information design. By visualizing data, you can become aware of the hidden processes that control yourself and the world around you.

Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned data design professional, this interactive journal will encourage you to expand your creative efforts and goals through personal data collection. Activities and exercises teach you how to document the world through colors, lines, shapes, and design, making data visual as well as informative and inspiring.

This is the ideal data design companion for anyone:

• Interested in self-improvement
• Looking for unique approaches to data design
• Ready to experiment with new techniques in drawing

A perfect blend of science and art, this is a how-to book that sparks creativity and critical thinking. It makes an excellent addition to STEM education and a dynamic gift for lifelong learners.

A guided journal with a fresh approach to the trendof journal-as-tool-for-self-examination. The journal is delightfully illustrated in the authors’ trademark style? accessible, whimsical, detailed. Blending inspiring examples with engaging instruction, this journal asks: What do we learn about ourselves when we measure our gratitude, confidence, and distraction levels? What do our collections say about who we are: our books, music, the clothes we wear? Observe, Collect, Draw! functions as a mini-course in information design, as accessible to beginners as it is engaging to seasoned info designers.
