“Confusion and clutter are failures of design, not attributes of information. And so the point is to find design strategies that reveal detail and complexity - rather than to fault the data for an excess of complication. Or, worse, to fault viewers for a lack of understanding.” UnderstandingInformationDesignStrategyFaultsDetailsConfusionDataComplexityAttributesExcessViewersClutterComplicationLack Of Understanding Author:Edward Tufte
“Here's the general theory: To clarify, add detail. Imagine that. To clarify, add detail. And clutter and overload are not an attribute of information, they are failures of design. If the information is in chaos, don't start throwing out information, instead fix the design.” IfsImagineInformationDesignTheoryAddChaosDetailsThrowingAttributesImagine ThatClutterOverload Author:Edward Tufte
