    Hello Alexis, The Dashboard Spy here.

    I always pop up when I see lists of what to do / what not to do when designing digital dashboards.

    You said the first example has too much in terms of the graphics. Does that mean the second one is OK?

    Isn’t that an opinion?

    Take a look at the comments that this post spawned on my Dashboards By Example blog:

    Are Digital Gauges Just Eye Candy?

    Thanks for you comment.

    Saying that first one has too much in terms of graphics does not mean that the second one is right. What I meant was that that one has too much unnecessary decoration.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Thanks, Mike. It’s fixed to Core Metrics.

    Seeing as how this post is a gross simplification of many concepts to keep in mind while designing an informative display, you could have at least included some links to some of the experts in this area – like Stephen Few (http://www.perceptualedge.com) or Edward Tufte (http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte) to name just a few.
