Tufte's footnotes are my favorite. They're especially brilliant when you have typeset documents on 8.5x11" paper, because you wind up with huge margins if you're using a humane line length for your main text.

- User23 6y agoTufte is underappreciated for sure. He's often aped, but rarely do I see his ideas actually applied as he teaches them. The whole point is a theory and practice of communication. Before he gave up and decided to just focus on sculpture he was almost to the point of actually developing a solid theory of representing 5-6 dimensional information representation in 2space. Of course I understand why he gave up, because 3space is way more interesting when you've solved the 2space problem to your own satisfaction.
