Data Viz Meetup

This article is a note about data visualization meetup (or lecture, workshop, and webinar, etc) I have attended before. This article will keep updated.

1/14 Webinar

Topic: Creating Design-driven Data Visualization
Speaker: Hayley Hughes from IBM

1. Principle
   A. Imperfection: be faithful to complexity, do not oversimplify data
   B. Deep engagement: smart clients don’t make big decisions from a dashboard, they compare many types of data
   C. Personal touch: start from scratch
2. Process
3. Style
   A. Make data look like IBM and have unique character
   B. Design for people with visual impairment and color blindness
   C. Challenge: coming up with a color palette that works across multiple visualizations ,and the palette is accessible and hasn’t a contrast
4. Animation: in order to compare different and difficult data sets
5. Interaction: zoom, filter, details
6. (Bonus chapter: Chart models)
