This system, this unwritten but universally understood template, was what allowed them to produce hundreds of pages of dense, complex information with such remarkable consistency, year after year. This represents another fundamental shift in design thinking over the past few decades, from a designer-centric model to a human-centered one. We don't have to consciously think about how to read the page; the template has done the work for us, allowing us to focus our mental energy on evaluating the content itself. It reduces mental friction, making it easier for the brain to process the information and understand its meaning. Suddenly, the nature of the "original" was completely upended. The question is always: what is the nature of the data, and what is the story I am trying to tell? If I want to show the hierarchical structure of a company's budget, breaking down spending from large departments into smaller and smaller line items, a simple bar chart is useless.
