Edward Tufte’s works on information have been highly recommended reading for many WWW designers and developers. But really, anyone interested in the practice of structural systems, organization, and taxonomy would enjoy his words. You’re required to read the first chapter and (again) write a response of a minimum of one (1) paragraph on YOUR blog.
If you’re interested in this book, buy it. Almost every graphic designer owns it or will own it at one point. This book celebrates escapes from the flatlands of both paper and computer screen, showing superb displays of high-dimensional complex data. Envisioning Information shows maps, charts, scientific presentations, diagrams, computer interfaces, statistical graphics and tables, stereo photographs, guidebooks, courtroom exhibits, timetables, use of color, a pop-up, and many other wonderful displays of information. The book provides practical advice about how to explain complex material by visual means, with extraordinary examples to illustrate the fundamental principles of information displays.
