Joost Grootens: Points of Entry

An atlas made by Joost Grootens, a Dutch graphic designer, is a thing of beauty. He is critically acclaimed for his work in designing a number of lexicons with information graphics, showing geographical information and numerical data in a clear and visually pleasant manner. The continued spread and development of the Internet has made it easy for all to access previously obscure information, and we now face the question of what it is to synthesize that information via assorted media to the world. For those working in the lexical field, choosing appropriate information from the wealth of both printed and electronic data, it has become a requirement to think beyond the pre-existing roles of design and editing to create appropriate means of communication for intended audiences. Grootens recognizes this new role of design and presents clear, communicative visual information in the architecture, art books and atlases he designs. In this feature, his works and words will take you to the ground of Design Now- a medium and methodology in flux.
