The Beauty of Data Visualisation

• Figures alone aren’t effective for comparing data. Visualising data allows us to see the difference between data in a visual way that would otherwise have less impact as plain text.
• Data visualisation allows us to see the patterns in data, and draw conclusions from it.
• Design is about solving problems and creating elegant solutions, information design is about solving information problems.
• David McCandless talks about his love for beautiful data and finding patterns and connections and shows us some of his graphs that are well refined and show interesting patterns.
