The early 90's were awash with terrible examples of charts. Honestly, I think business folk for the first time got the tools to create high-quality graphical charts and they went nuts without understanding what they were doing -- no doubt, trying to out do one another and impress their boss.
- lizknope 3y agoI graduated in 1997 and at my first job we had an engineer that loved making Powerpoint presentations. I hated that stuff but he used every 3D option, different color palettes on every page, etc. We had someone else print up fake business cards for him that changed his title to "3D Pie Chart Engineer"
