Good design is a lot like clear thinking made visual.

There is no such thing as information overload, just bad design. If something is cluttered and/or confusing, fix your design. — Edward Tufte Source: article Tweet
What is to be sought in designs for the display of information is the clear portrayal of complexity. Not the complication of the simple; rather the task of the designer is to give visual access to the subtle and the difficult – that is, revelation of the complex.

To clarify, add detail. Imagine that, to clarify, add detail. Clutter and overload are not attributes of information, they are failures of design. If the information is in chaos, don’t start throwing out information, instead fix the design. — Edward Tufte Source: post Tweet
