The best graphics are about the useful and important, about life and death, about the universe. Beautiful graphics do not traffic with the trivial.
I was writing a chapter of Beautiful Evidence on the subject of the sculptural pedestal, which led to my thinking about what's up on the pedestal - the great leader.
Beautiful Evidence is about the theory and practice of analytical design.
Design isn't crafting a beautiful, textured button with breathtaking animation. It's figuring out if there's a way to get rid of the button altogether.
Beautiful Evidence follows a growing concern in my work: assessing the quality of evidence and of finding out the truth.
