On Depicting Data.
May 17, 2007
From powerpoints to pie charts or bar graphs, depicting data doesn't always come easy. It often has to be boiled down to the main points. Take the NYC subway map, for example; Eddie Jabbour is attempting to redesin it to be more user friendly.
From powerpoints to pie charts or bar graphs, depicting data doesn't always come easy. It often has to be boiled down to the main points. Take the NYC subway map, for example; Eddie Jabbour is attempting to redesin it to be more user friendly. If you asked a certain Tufte, he'd suggest the London Tube map as a good reference point and the Mr Beck's Underground Map book for more on the philosophy behind the map's design. I'm going to see if I can find the book and will let you know what happens. I imagine it'd be a reference for business design, too. Has anyone ever seen it?
