Envisioning Information cover
by Edward R. Tufte (1990)
In much the same vein as Tufte’s The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, and displaying the same calibre of deeply incisive common-sense that cuts to the heart of all that’s right and wrong about the art and science of ‘information design’ – graphic design’s more pragmatic nephew.
If you love beauty in highly functional graphics, from maps and diagrams, charts and graphs, tables and typography, then this is for you.
Rating:
10/10 If bad diagrams make you cringe, and good ones make you laugh out loud.
0/10 If you only care about beauty, but not about usefulness. Or if you don’t have eyes.
Your post raises a deep philosophical question, does 0/0 mean it has got full mark?, after all it has got all possible points and also it has got nothing, Nice Paradox
Thanks for making me think
Thanks Mark, I fixed that up to what it’s supposed to be: both 10/10 and 0/10.
0/0 means that it can’t be rated: no points are on offer.
I think you should have little icons next to the ratings. Here are the alt texts:
10/10 “Purr!”
0/10 “Hiss! Meow!”
Nice one Paul, I’m sold on the idea.
