As a result of being constantly bombarded with overwhelming amounts of information, people do not find traditional pie charts or bar graphs stimulating, either visually or cognitively. Designers solve problems by transforming old methods of displaying information into visually stunning info-graphics that amplify the underlying message.
Death to Pie Charts showcases the new world of information graphics in an exciting variety of formats, including animation, interactive, print, and physical constructions. These graphics have been created by members of the Media Design Club at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT).
