Defence of bad graphics

As interesting article on the guardian website about the over use of infographics.

Defence of bad graphics

I have always liked good infographics, I have been immersed by the beauty of the design and then content with the new information I have gleaned from it and had taken it as a given that everyone would like well designed displays of information. BUt to read and to hear the alternate views on the use of the infographic is both insightful and a reminder to question what is presented as the norm.

In the article they posted this debate between Neville Brody and David McCandless, which again was a challenge but really insightful.
