Vintage Visual Language: The Story of Isotype
in the 1930s, Austrian sociologist, philosopher and
curator Otto Neurath and his wife Marie pioneeredISOTYPE — the
International System Of TYpographic Picture Education, a new visual language
for capturing quantitative information in pictograms, sparking the golden age
of infographics in print. The Transformer: Principles of Making Isotype
Charts is the first English-language volume to capture the story of
Isotype, an essential foundation for our modern visual language dominated by
pictograms in everything from bathroom signage to computer interfaces
to GOOD’s acclaimed Transparencies.
The real cherry on top is a previously
unpublished essay by Marie Neurath, who was very much on par with Otto as
Isotype’s co-inventor, written a year before her death in 1986 and telling the
story of how she carried on the Isotype legacy after Otto’s death in
1946.Richly illustrated and contextualized with fascinating historical essays, The
Transformer is a vital primer for a visual langauge that not only frames
much of today’s communication but also speaks to us on a powerful intuitive
level.
