Information Design

The problem with presenting information, as explained by Tufte, is simple -- the world is high- dimensional, but our displays are not. To address this basic problem, Tufte offered five principles of information design:
      • Quantitative thinking comes down to one question: Compared to what?
      • Try very hard to show cause and effect.
      • Don't break up evidence by accidents of means of production.
      • The world is multivariant, so the display should be high-dimensional.
      • The presentation stands and falls on the quality, relevance, and integrity of the content.
