compare:contrast

After giving myself a while to think about the similarities and differences between Holmes, Wurman and Tufte, I have come to realize that though their clients and the information they use are quite different, they are all trying to do something that sounds so simple; present information. However, each has his own spin on this idea, proving that each person and each situation require different levels of understanding, so that you can see where each person is coming from and why they create things the way they do. Though holmes's work is probably my least favorite of the three, it is not to say that his work is not incredible. I think I am personally drawn to the bold creatively situated typefaces Wurman and Tufe use, as well as their slightly more intricate, yet immediately recognizable, illustrations and designs. This just shows that each every audience that views a designers work is going to interpert it differently and different things are going to jump out and catch varying people, because of things like the way they were raised, their cultures their religions and their believes as well as their own design manifestos!
