Edward Tufte
December 31, 2005
There is a nascent conversation on the TECHWR-L list about Edward Tufte’s books, and how much influence they have had on technical communication. I liked the comment by one person, who said, “I imprinted on his books early in my career. So I suppose you could say that all my design work since then has been strongly influenced by Tufte’s approach.” I could say the same thing. I read The Visual Display of Quantitative Information soon after he published the first edition in 1983, and haven’t looked at anything graphical in the same way since.
