Edward Tufte @ Chicago Notes

Note: Link is to an MS Word doc! “Two core issues of Information Design: 1) Nearly everything interesting we want to communicate to others is multivariate information — three or more dimensions of data, that must be communicated on a 2D flatland display surfaces (computers, paper, books); 2) Resolution — we need more resolution to communicate more information — rate of information transfer vs. data density.”
