Production Technology

The book is hard covered, covered in textile (so it is more durable and will also give a high aesthetic look). Insides are made with Munken Lynx Smooth 120g/m2 – so that the color of the graphic does not show through to other pages.

Design Challenge

The biggest challenge was to gather all the data and information so that the book finally gives a quick understanding on the both topics.

Research

To define a problem I have used Design Thinking methods. This way I have found a problem, then the reason it happens, described the problem and potential users. In the next step, I have clarified the users, tried to understand their needs. Finally had to find a way to solve the given problem and a medium that eventually was a printed book.

Inspiration

The idea came from my own experience working for a financial institution (as a designer) that did not provide special courses on the financial market topic. I have gathered most of the terminology and consulted with an Economic Ph.D. Moreover, on the polish market, there is no such publication that combines the design basics and financial knowledge for all those who are interested in data visualization for stock markets, etc.

Project Duration

The project started in February 2020, printed in May 2021

Operation Flow

The book is a knowledge compendium on the topics of data visualization in the context of visualizing for financial markets.

Patents

All the copy in the book comes from different sources like books, online articles, etc. All mentioned in the bibliography.
