oh my. Maybe it is? The university they're attached to seems to be a real, serious, school. But these examples are just...worst of the worst stuff. Inscrutable metaphors, wasted axes, variable fonts without meaning, organization schemes that make no sense...the tribute to Ben Shneiderman literally breaks most of his interface design rules and his goals and theories on infoviz. [1] I understand that much of this material is relatively old, but we actually were better back then. The "tell" to me (if this is parody) is the percent of the audience here who can't tell if this is serious, or good, or not. Perhaps somebody should count the comments and put them in a pie chart inside of a pie store and call it "HN taste tests visual-literacy.org". Okay, I'm calling it, this is a very inside joke page of some sort. 1 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Shneiderman#Designing_the_User_Interface https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Shneiderman#Designing_the_...
