Creating diagrams that can be used in practice
 |
Description
Book Introduction
How to create graphic materials that are understood through logic, not design sense.
How to present complex information at a glance and structure your thoughts
"Creating Diagrams for Use in Practice" is a practical diagram guidebook that helps anyone create logically clear diagrams.
This book doesn't just cover how to create pretty slides or infographics.
The author states that "a good diagram comes not from a sense of design, but from the structure of thought," and suggests a way of thinking that grasps the essence of information and visually organizes its core.
The author points out a common mistake we often make—the simple belief that "including pictures will make things easier to understand"—and points out that the opposite is often true.
This book first understands what a diagram is, and then suggests a method to clearly express thoughts through three steps: 'discarding (organizing) information, refining (organizing), and visualizing (drawing) information.'
Then, visualize the information according to the nine frameworks and you're done.
For all practitioners who deal with information in meetings, reports, presentations, and other areas, "Creating Diagrams for Use in Practice" will be a book that will not only change the results of their work, but also the way they think.
Let's experience the power of 'diagrams' to simplify complex data, make abstract ideas concrete, and use logic rather than sense.

Looking back at the materials I created
As we begin
Chapter 1: Why & What of Diagrams ① Distinguishing between ‘Diagrams’ and ‘Diagrams’
Tao is overflowing around us.
What is a Tao and what is a diagram?
What is the difference between a diagram and a diagram?
Defining the difference between help and guidance
Difference between Do and Do ① Purpose: Why are we making it? (Why)
Difference between Do and Do Hae ② Element: What is used to make it? (What)
Three elements ① Letters
Three elements ② Shape
Three elements ③ Picture
Difference between Do and Do (How) ③ Method: How to make it? (How)
Definition of diagram
The value of diagrammatic definition
Chapter 2: The Why & What of Diagrams ② Defining 'Easy-to-Understand Diagrams'
The core of the diagram lies in the grammar of decomposition.
Easy to understand means easy to share
Ease of division means ease of differentiation
Break down information into easy-to-digest pieces
There is a grammar to sharing information.
[Reinforcement] The difference between 'know' and 'understand'
Chapter 3: How to Draw a Diagram ① The Thinking Process for Drawing a Diagram
What is the 'grammar of decomposition', the axis of easy-to-understand diagrams?
The world is made up of elements and relationships.
Three steps for creating diagrams: 'Organize,' 'Organize,' and 'Drawing.'
The difference between organizing and tidying
Step 1: Organize
Step 2: Tidy up
Step 3: Drawing
Two criteria for drawing diagrams
Criterion 1: Follow the eyes
Example of the 'Follow the Eyes' Criteria ①: Font Size
Example ② of the 'Follow the Eyes' Criteria: Contrast
Example ③ of the 'Follow the Eyes' Criterion: Color Vision Diversity
Criterion 2: Follow the Brain
Example of the 'Follow the Brain' Criterion ①: Contrast
Example ② of the 'Follow the Brain' Criteria: Gestalt
Example ③ of the 'Follow the Brain' Criterion: Optical Illusion
Example ④ of the 'Follow the Brain' Criterion: Guiding Eyes
Example of the 'Follow the Brain' Criteria ⑤: Mental Model
Chapter 4: How to Draw ②: Basic Forms for Drawing
Nine Frameworks Governing Diagrams
Diagram Framework 9
① Matrix | Compares information elements
② Mapping | Compare information elements
③ Graph | Compare information elements
④ Euler | Structures information relationships
⑤ Tree｜Structures information relationships.
⑥ Pyramid｜Structuring information relationships
⑦ Correlation | Ordering the relationships between information
⑧ Flow｜Ordering information relationships
⑨ Cycle｜Ordering the relationship between information
All 'Illustration Framework 9' can be converted to 'Matrix'.
Representative examples of forms other than 'Illustrated Framework 9'
In Conclusion: The Value and Harm of Ease of Understanding
Appendix: What is a diagram?

Publisher's Review
Many office workers struggle with creating meeting and presentation materials.
How can I convey information more clearly and reliably? Including images can be distracting to those lacking a sense of design, and using only text can easily make it too long.
This book is exactly what you need at that time.
"Creating Practical Diagrams" teaches techniques for organizing complex information visually so that it can be understood immediately. This book is not simply about "how to draw pretty pictures," but focuses on thinking methods that structure thoughts and visually convey key points.
The author emphasizes that "logic, not sense," creates good diagrams, and says that anyone can create clear diagrams by simply learning certain principles and procedures.
The book is structured around three perspectives: 'Why, What, and How.'
Chapters 1 and 2 cover 'Why are diagrams needed?' and 'What is a good diagram?', helping readers understand the nature of diagrams and their thought structure.
Chapter 3 introduces the specific process of creating diagrams (How). Information can be organized in three steps: ‘Organize-Sort-Draw’ and two criteria: ‘Follow the eyes-Follow the brain.’
The following four chapters illustrate frequently used diagrammatic forms in practice with real-world examples, using nine basic frameworks (matrices, mappings, trees, pyramids, etc.).
In particular, this book is structured so that practitioners can apply it immediately.
The text is rich in examples and diagrams to aid understanding, allowing you to see at a glance the difference between a 'well-made diagram' and a 'bad diagram'.
Additionally, a 'diagram creation worksheet' that can be printed separately is provided, so readers can apply the diagrams to their own materials right away while reading the book.
Whether it's a report, a meeting presentation, or a lecture slide, using diagrams can help you convey complex messages concisely and clearly.
