I think all technical communicators should get to read his books. Thanks for your comment and the web site reference. Ugur Betty, this news story dates back from March 2010 but I also do love Tufte.

He referred to Edward Tufte and the wonderful informational artist Meagan Jaegerman in his article. I am addicted to excellent design imagery and was so pleased to see information as an art form (and it really is). For me, I think simple vs complex imagery has the greatest impact and serves beautifully as informationl art . I'm excited to look further into Edward Tufte. How thoughtful of Obama to hire Tufte for this position. I'd love to be on that panel myself. With all of EdwardTufte's acumen and experience he will make an excellent, unique, and highly interesting leader. I certainly hope I will find his books to be available. This article is a very interesting aspect of the art world. Thank you. Betty I discovered the name Edward Tufte on the Charley Parker web site, LINES AND COLORS.
