I first saw this Chart/Diagram when I was studying Visual Communication in Sydney Australia and it is still my all time favorite graphic, beautiful and enduring.
The chart was part of a lecture given by Prof. Lawrence Hanley, my Principal Lecturer, who designed it in 1972 when he was just 24 years old.
I have seen this on the net credited as being a computer graphic, author unknown.
Time to put things right I think.
This was designed decades before any computers were being used by graphic designers, and is hand drawn in ink, on a big drawing board.
I think it must have been the inspiration for the cover of the Graphis Diagrams book that it was published in (about 1974/5).
Lawrence Hanley has designed many technical graphics in his career, all very different, some using illustration or photography, but all of them have a brilliant clarity of complex information.
Prof. Hanley has lived and worked in Sydney since leaving the UK in 1973 after lecturing for a short time at the London College of Printing.
He has been one of the most inspirational lecturers ever to teach in Australia and I can say that every student who has had the good fortune to have him as a teacher regards him as a quiet hero of graphics
.
He has worked in many underdeveloped countries with UNESCO and apart from his lecturing work, he has produced an amassing variety of graphic work in many diverse fields.
I remember him describing himself as a reconstructed modernist.
If I could design just one piece of work to the creative standard of this diagram, I would feel elated.
When I see this chart, it gives me the enthusiasm to try harder with mundane jobs that I get handed.
Surprisingly, most of his best work has been developed from what most of us would call very boring briefs.
Hope for us all!
