He's just blogged about the "transparency" example from good magazine, which was suggested inspiration from the people at East West. Steve had this to say about that particular info graphic: "Until then, we’ll be papering our walls and cluttering our brains with the likes of the recent infographic below from GOOD magazine, which exhibits so many problems it’s hard to imagine where to begin critiquing it, so I’ll leave that to you. I’m going to go lie down now and cover my eyes with a warm compress." Seems a common theme. What the purists want is not what the punters want. I doubt Steven Few will apply!
