The original website is no longer accessible but I am still blogging about Ladislave Sutnar. I think he is a very important designer for design students to know about, especially given the assignment we are currently working on. He is the father of information graphics, inspiration for designers such as Edward Tufte and Richard Saul Wurman (previously blogged).
He is the greater of area-code design. Even before they were needed Sutnar foresaw the overload of information that would be needed in the near future and found a method to help organize it. He also made manual like devices that helped users effectively sort through enormous amounts of data. Even with these being written over 40 years ago they are still considered efficient and up to date designs.
