Being a fan of Edward Tufte's books on visualizing data, I was looking forward to student Dana Wong's Guide to Information Graphics. But as the first part of the title should give away (The WSJ Guide…) this book has a narrow audience: professionals in the realm of business, specifically those dealing with the stock market. Wong employs many of Tufte's lessons -- particularly that data should drive how it is presented and that clarity is tantamount over superfluous eye candy -- but for a small subset of people dealing with presentations of data, facts and figures. Others are definitely encouraged to seek out Tufte's books, but business people will do well to read Wong's book and keep it as a ready reference, especially when it’s time to put together that important presentation. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
In today's data-driven world, professionals need to know how to express themselves in the language of graphics effectively and eloquently. Yet information graphics is rarely taught in schools or is the focus of on-the-job training. Now, for the first time, Dona M. Wong, a student of the information graphics pioneer Edward Tufte, makes this material available for all of us. In this book, you will learn: to choose the best chart that fits your data; the most effective way to communicate with decision makers when you have five minutes of their time; how to chart currency fluctuations that affect global business; how to use color effectively; how to make a graphic "colorful" even if only black and white are available. The book is organized in a series of mini-workshops backed up with illustrated examples, so not only will you learn what works and what doesn't but also you can see the dos and don'ts for yourself. This is an invaluable reference work for students and professional in all fields. No library descriptions found. |
