Data-to-Ink Ratio
Infographics vs. Visual Asset
The very best [infographics] engender and
facilitate an insight by visual means — allow us
to grasp some relationship quickly and easily
that otherwise would take many pages and
illustrations and tables to convey. Insight seems
to happen most often when data sets are
crossed in the design of the piece — when we
can quickly see the effects on something over
time, for example, or view how factors like
income, race, geography, or diet might affect
other data. When that happens, there’s an
instant “Aha!”…
“ -David Byrne
One would hope that we could educate
ourselves to be able to spot the evil
infographics that are being used to manipulate
us, or that are being used to hide important
patterns and information. Ideally, an educated
consumer of infographics might develop some
sort of infographic bullshit detector that would
beep when told how the trickle-down economic
effect justifies fracking, for example. It’s not
easy, as one can be seduced relatively easily
by colors, diagrams and funny writing.
