Data Visualisation
- 2. One Slideshow Introduction What is Data Visualization? The main goal of data visualization is its ability to visualize data, communicating information clearly and effectively, Vitaly Friedman OR "What Is Data Visualization", visually explained, http://ffctn.com/whatisdataviz Visual.ly: What are the elements that make up an infographic? Visualizations that present complex information quickly and clearly Visualizations that integrate words and graphics to reveal information, patterns or trends Visualizations that are easier to understand than words alone Visualizations that are beautiful and engaging Tools Infogr.am is the simplest way to create infographics. http://infogr.am/ We’re building a tool that will allow everyone to quickly and easily create professional quality designs with their own data. And when you’re ready to show your work to the world, publish it on your Visual.ly profile, your own personal showcase. http://visual.ly/ Gephi is an interactive visualization and exploration platform for all kinds of networks and complex systems, dynamic and hierarchical graphs. http://gephi.org/ Data Collection Google Docs in Elections Results Collaboration Examples The Egyptian Political Spectrum (Just Sketch, not even parties, GIMP) http://www.tarekamr.com/2011/08/egyptian-political-spectrum.html Political Parties Map made by Arabist (Parties added) http://www.arabist.net/storage/uploads/Map%20of%20EG%20Political%20Parties%2012.11.2011.pdf Egypt Parliamentary Elections Results Done by Paul Van Slembrouck (@ptvan) I work with startups to turn data into beautiful and simple infographics, visualizations, interactive applications, and presentations.
