Data visualization is something I’ve been fascinated by since Chiara Ojeda introduced me to David McCandless. Since I teach business students, it’s important that I teach them how to display information in a visual way. McCandless emphasizes the importance of interestingness, integrity, function, and form in any infographic, so when I find an infographic that meets these four requirements, I always love to share that with you.
Visiting Daily Infographic once a week helps me to find strong, beautiful infographics. Another great place to see data visualized is Alltop. Infographics and Data Visualization contain the top news of the week.
I found this beautiful but effective data display on wild versus cultivated salmon:
Have you seen any well-designed infographics this week?
These data visualizations are fantastic! They are creative, visually appealing, tell a story, and compel the viewer to look through all the information. It’s a very appealing way to display information, and although it’s static it almost appears dynamic. It’s a measure of creativity that I would struggle to achieve, myself, but would have fun trying!
