I also think there will always be a place for more bespoke data visualizations and designs, because something that’s unique is more engaging and grabs attention.”

The Guild asked Amy Cesal, Community Director at Data Visualization Society, to share her point of view about creating a meaningful experience in data presentations:

As presentation professionals, we know that there is no single formula for communicating numbers and meanings. But how do we establish a dialogue with clients who are only now beginning to appreciate data visualization techniques as an effective tool to communicate? Now You See It does for visual data sensemaking what Show Me the Numbers does for graphical data presentation: it teaches simple, fundamental, and practical concepts, principles, and techniques that anyone can use—only this time they're exploring and making sense of information, not presenting it. These techniques rely primarily on something almost everyone has: vision. They use graphs to display data in ways that make meaningful patterns visible to reveal the stories that reside within. These techniques also involve interacting with data in particular ways to tease out relevant facts and their meanings.

Subtract when a lesser number comes before a greater one. Use rules 1-3 to write. Ex: XC is 90, XL is 40 He mejorado mi percepción de lo que es un gráfico sin distracciones. He aprendido a identificar las relaciones entre números que representan los diferentes tipos de gráficos.Nancy wants designers to keep in mind that “data is finite and factual and should be visually represented as such.” She doesn’t like applying creative expression to data unless it enhances clarity or “builds important context for what you’re trying to convey.” Data, in and of itself, isn't valuable. It only becomes valuable when we make sense of it. Weaving data into understanding involves several distinct but complementary thinking skills. Foremost among them are critical thinking and scientific thinking. Until information professionals develop these capabilities, we will remain in the dark ages of data. If you're an information professional and have never been trained to think critically and scientifically with data, this book will set your feet on the path that will lead to an Information Age worthy of the name.

He lives in Berkeley, California.

Investing the time to create a really effective chart—especially if your company never had one before—can help stakeholders realize the value of good data design. As Amy noted, “You can’t expect people without much experience with data visualization to be able to imagine the value of data that hasn’t been viz-ed yet!”

Show Me the Numbers: Designing Tables and Graphs to Enlighten" is a book written by Stephen Few, a renowned expert in data visualization and information design. Published in 2004, this book focuses on the principles and best practices of presenting data effectively through tables and graphs. A necessary book for those that are presenting and are concerned with the designs used for graphs, and tables. In other words, if you are a professor or involved in delivering reports to the management or public audiences it is a very useful resource. The book in a very detailed and sometimes even academic style explains the type of data, tables, graphs, designs, fonts, colours, patterns etc. used for presenting info to various audiences. It contains tons of examples, and every error in tables and graphs is shown and explained why it is a bad idea to use it. The book can be used as well for learning and testing your skills in this area by providing exercises and tests where you can see if you understood and are ready to apply the stuff you just read. A truly useful tool from the author that also helped Hans Rosling with his TED talk and presentation with the animated bubbles presenting advanced statistical data in time - the penultimate chapter is my favorite and is focusing on presenting animated data.

Simply an excellent resource whether you are looking to start to learn data visualisation, or looking to improve what you do now. I can not recommend it more highly.I really liked Information Dashboard Design and was hoping for more straight to the point hardnosed data professionalism. But this book was mostly wallowing in the minutiae of table design. It's a textbook, easy to reference when needed. It even contains a short section on 3D charts. To summarize that section - just don't use 3D charts ... ever. On another hand, the book is directed at a very specific niche and it will be totally useless for those that have no interest in working with numbers and presenting them in a very simplistic way to various audiences.
