Thoughts on the presentation

I think as a person to research, Tufte isn’t the most interesting and I found that because of that, mine and simona’s presentation because very content heavy. Having said that I think it’s good. I think I now have a better understanding of the purpose of data visualisation/info graphics. I do think they are good, not necessarily for my final piece but in general for displaying information. I think it is particularly becoming more relevant now because society is after quick and easy and infographics are a really concise way of distributing information in an effective way.


I particularly agree with Fernanda Viegas and Martin M. Wattenbergs’ quote that “an ideal visualization should not only communicate clearly, but stimulate viewer engagement and attention”. If it wasn’t that, I don’t think they would be of any use to anyone.


Some are too confusing and don’t work like…….one






I feel like this is unsuccessful because it’s confusing to follow and because of that, the whole infographic loses its meaning. It looks great in its aesthetics but it doesn’t mean anything when you can’t take useful information from it/understand it
