Data visualization is another form of visual art that grabs our interest and keeps our eyes on the message. When we see a chart, we quickly see trends and outliers. If we can see something, we internalize it quickly. Data visualization helps to tell stories by curating data into a form easier to understand, highlighting the trends and outliers. A good visualization tells a story, removing the noise from data and highlighting the useful information.
Effective data visualization is a delicate balancing act between form and function. The plainest graph could be too boring to catch any notice or it make tell a powerful point; the most stunning visualization could utterly fail at conveying the right message or it could speak volumes.
Every STEM field benefits from understanding data—and so do fields in government, finance, marketing, history, consumer goods, service industries, education, sports, and so on.
The better you can convey your points visually, whether in a dashboard or a slide deck, the better you can leverage that information. The concept of the citizen data scientist is on the rise. Skill sets are changing to accommodate a data-driven world. It is increasingly valuable for professionals to be able to use data to make decisions and use visuals to tell stories of when data informs the who, what, when, where, and how.
While traditional education typically draws a distinct line between creative storytelling and technical analysis, the modern professional world also values those who can cross between the two: data visualization sits right in the middle of analysis and visual storytelling.

With public data visualization galleries and data everywhere online, it can be overwhelming to know where to start.
Plus, there are tons of great blogs and books about data visualization containing excellent examples, explanations, and information about best practices. Posted in Graphic Design.

Graphic design basics To better understand the meaning of graphic design, it is important to be aware of the elements and principles that make up design.
These graphic design elements include: Color Form Line Shape Size Space Texture Graphic designers also adhere to the principles of design, which are essentially a set of guidelines that help a design achieve effective composition. Types of graphic design As mentioned earlier, there is no single graphic design meaning. This includes overall layout, color scheme and navigation. User experience UX design is focused on ensuring a website or application is easy and satisfying to use.
These designers emphasize value, usability, adoptability and desirability. Motion graphics design —or animation—brings visual elements to life through special effects, TV shows, video games and movies.
Common graphic design jobs With technological advancements introducing new types of graphic design, there has also been an emergence of new graphic design jobs.

For me, is was very stimulating to contemplate as the same managerial associations were those that questioned its own demands or did they look for a simpler method so that officials and developers could satisfy them.
In the fifth workday, we announced that it was the moment would the developers closed the design the website detailed, because the bases had already been settled to make it. We completed a Master Plan, with even a Statement of Work sufficiently detailed. And we got everything in only six working days.
We had foreseen that in the afternoon of the last day the technicians presented us their design, but the euphoria was such that it was decided to work together the whole day and to make a general review of the plan. Working with the developers, we use many of the other tools. For example, we use the 6M to cross client's requirements and product, as well as product requirements and process and the 5M to relate all the requirements themselves.
Many of 7M were already known by me, but in another format and for another purpose. For me, the most interesting thing it was the reconsideration, made by JUSE, is that when describing them as a group, it had endowed to each of them of a new spirit and it had been able to increase their use capacity.
It was clear that I had to continue investigating this interesting work line. After that first and happy experience, I have checked that the attitude of the human groups when using the graphics is very positive.
To provide help to people to be distanced from the facts, to structure and to interpret them: it can have a lot of accuracy and precision in a simple outline. After having used the Rainbow and the 7M several times, I would like to point out the great welcome with which they were received by a group responsible for projects of the Superior Council of Scientific Investigations CSIC to whom I had the honor of presenting the concept.
It is curious that most serious and imposing people, when faced with the simplicity of their work, began quickly to play with the tools. But what is more appreciated, in the employment of graphics, is its capacity to help the person to collaborate with others. I have checked it to reiterate. The old philosophers affirmed that logic: aesthetics and ethics are inseparable. The ethical attitudes that allow to be related to other men, are born so much of the knowledge as of the beauty.
But one can also say, in a much simpler way: adults, as do children, know each other better when playing. But I have also observed a danger in the employment of graphic tools: the absence or the forgetfulness of a method for their use.
A good project director should avoid that the possibility for Tools to become Toys, remembering that the only purpose of its use is to reach the wanted objective: to be taken well and to get results. It is necessary to use a method Ad hoc, for example a mental map, to use them consciously. In Praha, Alfonso and I will show some concrete graphics, a product of the employment of 7M and the Rainbow supporting teams in charge of working the Scope Management of several projects.
Now, we are proving the employment of 7M tools jointly with the Six Hats creativity technique recommended for De Bono Akao, Y. Quality Fuction Deployment. Cambridge, Massachussets: Productivity Press.

Problem Panic… Four years ago, as I still remember, I experienced grief in a meeting related to a project. I already knew the The Prisoner's Dilemma invented to the Princeton Institute of Advanced Science in the s that modeled the game of forces in a typical negotiation for a software development project that could be summarized in the following payoff matrix starting from the attitudes of developers and users: Exhibit 1 — The Software Developers Dilemma Matrix.
