Standards of comparison for workaday and for cutting edge visualizations. Edward Tufte teaches the entire course. "The Galileo of graphics. " Civic Infographics. By Giulio Frigieri The importance of perception for analysis and communication through infographics In his book “Graph design for the eye and mind”, Stephen Kosslyn asserts that “a good graph forces the reader to see the information the designer wanted to convey” and this would be the very “difference between graphics for data analysis and graphics for communication”[Kosslyn, 2006].

But are there any specific instances in which we can say that a data-based graphic is designed to describe, not to analyze? If so, what would make it more of an instrument for communication than for analysis? The fact that an explanatory text can be added – regardless of how concise or verbose it is – is not enough to imply that a chart’s nature is prevalently descriptive. In this line of thought, we must ask ourselves whether the two functional elements of analysis and communication can ever be separated, or even controlled.

A precise chart is the result of a virtuous merger of logics, aesthetics and emphasis. VizThinker | Obsessed with Visual Thinking. The Functional Art: An Introduction to Information Graphics and Visualization. Perceptual Edge.
