Redesigning an ineffective healthcare flowchart

Republican John Boehner recently presented a very ugly chart that outlined the Democrats’ health plan. From a graphic design standpoint, it is a disaster. Intentional or not, the chart clearly evokes negative feelings into the reader who most likely will be overwhelmed by words in ALL-CAPS, different and competing colors, shapes, and sizes.

Over on Flickr, a graphic designer took it upon himself to write a letter and redesign the chart. Much better.
