A review by snowbenton
Dear Data by Giorgia Lupi, Stefanie Posavec

3.0

I loved the premise of this book: two designers would track the same piece of data for a week (number of times they look in a mirror, how often they say thank you, sounds they hear, etc) and send each other postcards with a visual representation of their tracking, complete with a key that explains the design elements. However, I quickly found myself bored as each page was just the picture of the postcards themselves. Giorgia's drawings were impressively rendered, but her detail was so extravagant I read them and then moved on without looking back at the postcard. Stefanie's were more manageable and her comments were amusing, but her drawings were terrible. Overall, I wanted more of a story, or at least more interesting postcards.
