I think Edward Tufte would approve of that illustration.

“Good design is clear thinking made visibile.” Indeed.

This cannot have been explained simpler, more vibrantly and clearer. I believe, simplicity is “most of the time” an indicator of perfection.

I will take a copy of it and show it to my dumb-headed clients (not all of my clients are dumb, but some still think they are in the era of NS3.x where markup, style and script of any kind must be mixed to create a pixel-perfect and decent look ‘n feel)

Thanks a lot!

I typed out a long message, and accidentally closed the tab before submitting. I was just sharing how I intended to use the poster. Anyhow, it probably wasn’t worth reading. Thank you very much for your help.

Brilliantly simple! I’m printing this as I type, and gonna stick it next to our company webmaster’s desk (he still doesn’t get WHY tables are bad for layout… sheesh).

Ohh and I love when I see “obvious” stuff like this (I’m not saying it’s obvious, it’s inspired!)... there is always someone who was ‘just’ thinking exactly the same thing. What a small world.. so many coincidences… heh.

Thanks for sharing this, very generous of you.
