Good Information Design

In planning and design, the communication of ideas is still limited to the media at hand. That media may have gotten more snazzy, like 3-D renderings that "walk" a client through a building, but many ideas still start as a drawing. There is no direct brain wave transferral. So good drawings and layouts are imperative to building a common understanding of a situation, and is the foundation for diversity of opinion.

The one here looks just great to me, especially in how it communicates a narrative, which is how many ideas are sold now. It clearly illustrates the activity described going down to the bottom of Ground Zero, but is lighthanded. Drawing by Hannes Hater who has more examples available on his site.
