11/11 - Edward Tufte and Micro/Macro workshop

Edward Tufte works with information design, interface design and graphic design. He's well known by writing analytical design books, and he had written 7 books which gave him more than 40 awards for content and design. He is a professor Emeritus at Yale University and he teaches courses in statical evidence, information design and interface design.

In the class we saw his book "Envisioning Information Book" and we concentrate our study into micro/macro readings. In this work Tafte studies the relation between micro and macro readings and how to find a good connection between both of them.

At the end of the class we made a workshop based in Macro/Micro reference. We should create something graphically that could show at the same time the Macro and Micro universe.
