Not strictly a commentary on a piece or project, instead, this is a link to an interesting opinion piece about the Great Infographic Debate, i.e., most loosely and least helpfully, substance vs. style, vis-a-vis the use of pie charts and such vs. bar charts. Where does one draw the line between clear communication and, frankly, just getting somebody’s attention so that one can communicate?
From the article, an illustration of just how bar charts are significantly better than pie charts at clearly communicating data such as which is the largest data point.
Thanks to Ben for the heads up.
