Tufte has provided the discipline with a vocabulary for bad design (chartjunk, the lie factor), for particular graphic constructions (small multiples, micro/macro readings), and for his own criteria of good design (high data-ink ratio, high data density). some discussion of Conway's Law. A curious consequence is that I have become a minor celebrity. Seriously though, no one really makes slides like that anymore, and you cannot blame the software for the presenter's laziness. There was a problem loading your book clubs. First openings in 5 years at Edward Tufte's landscape sculpture farm. To name just one little layout detail: the reader never has to turn a page to finish reading a sentence (with one exception on p. 37). These are indeed without pedestals, but also without any explanatory text. A second slight disappointment that I experienced reading, relates to the style of argumentation in some sections. The issue of visualization was discussed at length. 190-191). Buy Beautiful Evidence by Tufte, Edward R (ISBN: 9780961392178) from Amazon's Book Store. In this work, Tufte focusses as usual on great visual design, and relates it closely to how design can provide solid, reliable, uncorrupted information. And for a book designed by a designer, the physical layout vacillates between overwrought (all chapters ending with a perfect finish at the bottom of the page) and ill-conceived ("PowerPoint Phluff" graphics, Columbia captions).
190-193, available here). The beauty of Tufte's books comes up a lot in reviews.
6) Analytical presentations ultimately stand or fall depending on the quality, relevance, and integrity of their content. The fourth of Tufte's series of books on the visual display of information. Mesmerizingly studious analysis of design, both the good and the bad. Much of the content here--sparklines, multivariate charts, the necessity of hierarchy--is revelatory. In the first chapter, titled “Mapped pictures”, Tufte discusses pictures of physical things. What do sculpture pedestals have to do with anything? I actually enjoyed the book up to the point where the author started ranting about Powerpoint and then bragged randomly about his sculptures. Tufte seems to blame PowerPoint.
"The Data Artist", Salon, 1997-03-10. Bookprints: 16 Original Prints 16 new prints by Edward Tufte, based on images from Beautiful Evidence (2006), Envisioning Information (1990), and Visual Explanations (1997)..
The book identifies excellent and effective methods for showing nearly every kind of information, suggests many new designs (including sparklines), and provides analytical tools for assessing the credibility of evidence presentations (which are seen from both sides: how to produce and how to consume presentations).
With his books and lectures, Tufte’s goal is to teach the skills that maximize reasoning time and decrease decoding time. As examples of good practice in this respect, Tufte shows us manuscripts by da Vinci, Galileo, Newton and others. Appealing examples of careful annotations of connectors, and of rich visual vocabularies of links or arrows in diagrams are presented, In the next chapter, Tufte advocates the practice of. Appealing examples of careful annotations of connectors, and of rich visual vocabularies of links or arrows in diagrams are presented (some draft pages for this chapter can be seen here). It is usually longer than high, and is not accompanied by an x- or y-axis or other scale. Yes, the paper is very nice. I was writing a chapter of Beautiful Evidence on the subject of the sculptural pedestal, which led to my thinking about what's up on the pedestal - the great leader.
