There are two kinds of infographics:
- The kind that deceive
- The kind that clarify
This is the former. Shame on you, Razorfish designer.
EDIT:
My friend and colleague-from-another-agency, Guthrie Dolin (Odopod), helped me get in contact with Garrick Schmitt, the publisher of the FEED report. His tweet in response to my post is copied below.
I appreciate (a) the understanding that it’s not the best way to display the data and (b) that his point wasn’t to highlight/obfuscate. So, that’s good. Thanks, Garrick, for the response.
