Visualizing Data: Infographics
Posted on June 15th, 2010 by GD
How do you present numeric data in a way that will catch the viewer’s attention? Here are two bright examples of ways to convey information:
- Doug McCune superimposes crime statistics on a map of San Francisco, California.
- Marca.com provides a World Cup 2010 calendar that shows teams, schedules, and events.
These brightly colored graphics are much more immediately interesting than are rows and columns of data, even if they convey the same information.
Thanks to Ryan Kim of the San Francisco Chronicle and hound at Testy Copy Editors for the pointers to these pages.
