Database created from SABI (Moody’s company: private database with economic and financial information about 800.000 Portuguese companies). It was used as the working subject in the discipline of Representation and Knowledge, with Design master students (University of Aveiro, year 2019-20). Companies with the code 74.10 (Design activity) in 2018 was extracted, obtaining an initial sample of 1.451 companies. The database contained information on their location (county, district and NUT II area), Turnover, Exports (%), Number of Employees, Profit (%) and contact forms (email and website, if any). Students only considered companies that had a positive Turnover that year (n=1.287) to create the infographics. In addition to the existing data, they added other parameters, such as their location (coast area, inland, south or islands), their size (following European guidelines), and a qualitative classification according to the company’s investment in employees in relation to its Turnover.
