Webcast: Designing Data Visualizations
14 months ago
There is an increasing abundance of tools, languages, and frameworks for data visualization. But success is built upon having a good design to implement, and that requires a linear process of encoding information for visual transmission and subsequent decoding by wetware (the reader’s brain). Join us as we introduce you to this process, including some basic concepts and best practices, so that your message may be transmitted without interference.
