House Republican John Boehner recently released an infographic describing the Democratic Health Plan proposal. The graphic is a nightmare of bad color choices, poor layout, and overall obfuscated design. No doubt some of this was intentional, but it’s another great example of the evils that can be perpetrated through infographics.
Or put in other words: “By releasing your chart, instead of meaningfully educating the public, you willfully obfuscated an already complicated proposal. … So, to try and do my duty both to the country and to information design (a profession and skill you have loudly shat upon), I have taken it upon myself to untangle your delightful chart.”
