Reading 5: Small Multiples

So, small multiples are basically multiples of an image with various changes that show alternatives to the image or whatnot. Reminds me of a flip book.

Relatively easy to understand and to the point chapter. I agree with Tufte that small images of something like train illustration on page 68 is easily understood because the images are all the same except for the changes in the lights. It makes it easier to focus on what's important and what info is supposed to go through your mind.

Hm, not much else to say about it...
