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. 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. As an example, teeth numbers 1, 16, 17, and 32 are your wisdom teeth. Teeth numbers 14 and 15 are your upper left molars. If you are getting cosmetic dentistry using veneers, you usually want to enhance the most visible part, teeth numbers 6 – 11 on the upper and 22 – 26 on the lower. For movie fans, vampires can extend their eye teeth (canines): 6, 11, 22 and 27. Teeth Numbers and Names Excellent practical application of the principles espoused by Edward Tufte in his classic texts. Few takes Tufte's ideas and gives very practical adivce and guidleines on how to apply them for diaplysing data for best communications. 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.Neuroscience researchers assert that the brain reflexively avoids complex images by rejecting them in a few seconds. Finding ways to captivate audience attention in a world of ever-increasing distractions is difficult enough. Making your data captivating might appear next to impossible. urn:lcp:showmenumbersdes0000fews:epub:9fce1801-6cf1-4eb8-bb44-6040b6d4363b Foldoutcount 0 Identifier showmenumbersdes0000fews Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s24k6stn222 Invoice 1652 Isbn 9780970601995 Subtract when a lesser number comes before a greater one.

Stephen Few's examples are elegant, and his advice is right on the money." --Colin Ware, professor, University of New Hampshire, and author, Information Visualization: Perception for Design Access to data is vast. The bigger data gets, the more complicated forms of interactive visualizations are at our disposal. When it comes to communicating data, you want to choose the charts that make the insights from the data the clearest, not the coolest. After you plot the chart, highlight what’s important and overlay annotations to show what your conclusions are from the data.”

First group: 22 sales managers. They could see a movement but focused only on the higher result, they were not able to compare families in a few seconds. 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. Super boring. I skipped over almost all of it except the end-of-chapter summaries and image captions.

However, there are a lot of benefits to less traditional, more creative methods of visualization. I experimented with visualizing information with Play-Doh, and the project really resonated with people. A unique design has the ability to grab people’s attention the way a simple bar chart might not.” With this second edition, Show Me the Numbers has been transformed from a practical, engaging, and trustworthy guide for displaying numbers into the most comprehensive reference available for anyone who seeks to present data in enlightening ways, even to those with numberphobia." --Stacey Barr, performance measure specialist 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.” In September, Nancy Duarte—CEO of Duarte, Inc. and Guild Advisor—will publish her next book DataStory: Explain Data and Inspire Action Through Story. The Presentation Guild interviewed her about how to be accurate in the creative process of data storytelling:

the numbers? by Norman Fenton and Martin Neil Where are the numbers? by Norman Fenton and Martin Neil

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. I think templates are useful when creating a bunch of graphics and for maintaining consistency. I’ve even created a number of data visualization style guides to help create consistency among charts and graphs. But charts and graphs should look like a family of visuals not identical twins. It’s hard to see the uniqueness of the data and figure out the meaning of the chart if everything is visually identical. 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.Forgotten the title or the author of a book? Our BookSleuth is specially designed for you.

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. Some design professionals wonder what the future holds for our industry. Will we be supported or threatened by so many template companies that are popping around the world? With our professional certifications rolling out in October and establishing presentation standards, the Presentation Guild plans to raise the bar with best practices regarding presentation development and design. Helping you “show the numbers” and guiding audience to understanding is part of that plan. Stephen Few is the founder of the consultancy Perceptual Edge. He speaks, teaches, and consults around the world and writes the quarterly Visual Business Intelligence Newsletter. He is the author of Information Dashboard Design: The Effective Visual Communication of Data and Now You See It: Simple Visualization Techniques for Quantitative Analysis. He lives in Berkeley, California. Although some quantitative data sensemaking can only be done with sophisticated statistical techniques, most of the questions that organizations typically ask about their data can be answered using simple visualization techniques—techniques that can be learned by people with little or no statistical training. In other words, Now You See It is for the great majority of people whose jobs require them to make sense of quantitative information.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.”
