	*Envisioning Data
	**Chapter 2: Micro/Macro
	**Chapter 3: Layering and Separation
	**Chapter 5: Color and Information

	~~==Micro/Macro==~~
	*General
	**Large view, e.g. country map, cityscape
	**Lots of details, e.g. provincial statistics, windows on a building
	**However don't show too much, which details do you show? Which ones are appropriate to leave out? (pg 51 first blockquote)

	*Material must be organized appropriately. Examples include:
	**Organization of names on Vietnam War Memorial (pg 43)
	**Table of Hospital costs (pg 57)

	*When organizing and laying out information, there can be an aesthetic preference:
	**Simplicity \|\| Complexity?
	**High Density \|\| Thin Date?
	**Number/Table based \|\| Graphic/Map based

	~~==Layering and Separation==~~
	*General
	**Reduce noise, enrich the content of the displays
	**Combine various elements of 'flatland' and make them interact "1 + 1 = 3 <em>or more</em>"
	**Visual attraction of negative space (pg 60)
	**Background and foreground elements (pg 65 blockquote)

	~~==Color and Information==~~
	*General
	**The trained eye can distinguish 1,000,000 colors, 20,000 otherwise. How can you use this to create distinguishable elements and enrich a visualization?

	*Use of color to
	**Label, color as a noun, color coding data sets. (pg 82)
	**Measure, color as a quantity, color coding elevation on a map. (pg 82)
	**Decorative, color as beauty, make it pleasurable to the eye. (pg 82)
	**Clarity, color as distinction, as in slightly different hues of the same color to distinguish points. Also to clean up where black and white/grayscale fails, where 1+1=3 clutter. (pg 89)
