After months of planning, deliberation and debate the winners of the first Information is Beautiful Awards were announced tonight. Nominees, guests and design lovers gathered at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London to celebrate an information design industry in rude health, and to eat more canapés than strictly necessary.
Thanks to everyone who got involved in any capacity, we really were blown away by the response. Next year promises to be even bigger and better.
