"At their best, graphics are instruments for reasoning about quantitative information. Often the most effective way to describe, explore and summarize a set of data, even a large set, is to look at pictures of that data."Tufte's book was revolutionary for the information design industry, and features numerous examples of amazing pieces of design, but also very specific critical writing of design that informs, but is also aesthetically considered - the pure communication of design is paramount according to Tufte, "the viewer is should fully comprehend the communication of whatever design is attempting to convey." This needs to be considered during my design process, in attempting to explore such a complex relationship between sound, text and image.
