Schrijf een recensie | Voeg to aan del.icio.us Graphics and Web Design Based on Edward Tufte's Principles
This is an outline of Edward Tufte's pioneering work on the use of graphics to display quantitative information. It mainly consists of text and ideas taken from his three books on the subject along with some additional material of my own. This page is in text only format: in order to understand the concepts you need to read the books because the concepts cannot really be grasped without the illustrations, and current video monitor technology is too low in resolution to do them justice. His work has been described as "a visual Strunk and White".

It is astounding that this outdated study has survived so long. While Miller's research was well executed, it is simply not current enough to be applied to web design. More recent studies have shown Miller's conclusion to be inaccurate and oversimplified. Also, in the 50 years since Miller's study, our ability and willingness to sift through information has probably increased, particularly with the rise of the Internet. [Webreview 14/01/2002]

Schrijf een recensie | Voeg to aan del.icio.us Visible Narratives: Understanding Visual Organization
Visual communication can be thought of as two intertwined parts: personality, or look and feel, and visual organization. The personality of a presentation is what provides the emotional impact ?your instinctual response to what you see. Creating an appropriate personality requires the use of colors, type treatments, images, shapes, patterns, and more, to ?say? the right thing to your audience. This article, however, focuses on the other side of the visual communication coin: visual organization. [Boxes and arrows 01/2003]
