Print-based information design
Project:
Everyone Ever in the World, poster, 2010
Design:
Peter Crnokrak of The Luxury of Protest, London
As this topic demonstrates, there are many ways to communicate information to an
audience, and print is just one of them. The possibilities offered within the printed
medium can be investigated and experimented with; they can become key to the ef-
fectiveness and success of the overall communication of an idea or concept.
Peter Crnokrak is the Canadian designer and artist behind The Luxury of Protest, an
experimental design platform founded in 2009. Originally a research scientist in the
field of quantitative genetics, Crnokrak designs highly complex data visualizations.
In his piece Everyone Ever in the World, Crnokrak takes a complex piece of data and
explores the possibilities of print, format and composition. He utilizes a variety of
materials, techniques and print finishes that relate to the content he is communicating
within the piece. Nothing is purely decorative, everything is considered, evaluated
and reasoned. The use of paper, spot varnish, die- and laser-cutting are an intrinsic
part of the overall communication; they all carry meaning and help convey the in-
formation within the piece to the audience.
