CATEGORY: Information Is Beautiful Great Visualizers: Always With Honor
Design duo Tyler Lang and Elsa Chaves are Always With Honor, an East Coast design team with a specialty in beautifully simple information displays and iconography.
I first got turned on to / by their work when I spotted this awesome poster. It visualizes the many domains within design. Somewhat awesomely.
(Here’s a link to a massive hi-res version)
Simple Is Beautiful
Simple shapes, simple typography, simple colour characterises their work. I snaffled them up for a spread in Information Is Beautiful about the various creation stories across cultures – scientific and mythological.
Struck me there was something cool about trying to visualize such an unimaginably complex process with super-simple graphics.
Iconographtastic
Always With Honor create the best icons! You may have seen some of their work for publications like Monocole. So characterful. More here.
Infographtastic
They also had a strong influence on the look and feel of Good Magazine’s infographic Transparency section. Soft lines and cutsy icons make the data seem less harsh, less griddy. I like!
Colours In Culture
My favourite piece, somewhat selfishly, is the Colours In Culture image on the cover of Information Is Beautiful. It visualizes the meaning of colours across different cultures (Native American, Western, Chinese etc).
Bag yourself a poster
In fact, we’ve just litho-printed a gorgeous poster version of this image on 220 gsm, FSC-certified art paper.
The coolest thing though is that it’s a 6-colour process print. Gold and silver on the diagram have been printed – at great expense – in gold and silver ink. Not only does that look cool. But it also means we’ve been able to remove the legend from the design. Making the image even cleaner and simpler.
Order a copy from our store now.
The first print run is already almost sold out. We have just 25 copies left.

CATEGORY: information aesthetics MoodWall: Changing Local Behavior through Interactive Media Architecture
While there are more than plenty media architecture projects around, most can be described as a form of spectacular self-centered architectural decoration, rather than some sort of technological answer to an existing social context within the local environment. The Moodwall [archdaily.com] might be one of the first exceptions. Moodwall is a 24-meter long interactive surface containing 25,000 LED lights, which acts as a stage for art and media in a neighborhood of Amsterdam. The wall, located in a low pedestrian tunnel, reacts to the movement of passers-by by dynamic light changes, with the overall aim to reduce the feeling of unsafeness in the local area.
The curves in the wall should make it less suitable for grafitti and improve the visibility of the content from the sides. In addition, the resolution is horizontally stretched so the images of the screen so to stimulate people to watch the imagery from outside the tunnel and prevent the tunnel to become a hang-out spot.
Reminds me of the (now defunct?) interactive waterfall.
