Effective Data Visualization (Libraries Summer Camp)
LOCATION: Murthy Digital Studio / Bostock 121
SESSION LEAD: Eric Monson
Visualization is a powerful way to reveal patterns in data, attract attention, and get your message across to an audience quickly and clearly. But, there are many steps in that journey from exploration to information to influence, and many choices to make when putting it all together to tell your story. I will cover some basic guidelines for effective visualization, point out a few common pitfalls to avoid, and run through a critique and iterations of an existing visualization to help you start seeing better choices beyond the software defaults.
