knowledge is power
infographics - where data meets design
what makes good data visualisation?
If looking for numbers ....
- colour change
- size
- orientation
- flicker
all are visual clues that the human brain processes within 250 milli-seconds
If looking for patterns .....
- colour - can show correlation
- size - to show quantity
- orientation - to show trends
Good design can also communicate
- processes
- hierarchy
- anatomy
- chronology
your message is only as good as your ability to share it
