Above is a data visualization created by Sha Hwang to illustrate the increased use of the NYC subway station from 1905 to 2006. While trying to convey information, these graphs are also aesthetically pleasing. Clarity of information is given priority to appearance. Consideration was giving to the color choices, each line has its own distinct color within the same saturation level as the others. The cool gray background acts as a simple backdrop just to give the viewer an environment and recedes so it doesn't complicate the image. It's important to think about how we present this kind of information. It doesn't have to be boring or static, instead I can have more interest in the design than the information I get out of it. I would not be at all as interested about a bar graph created with Excel. Also, these visuals can help the viewer better understand the information they receive.
This one can be found at http://www.diametunim.com/portfolio/ . There are many great examples of data visualization out there. Some are even interactive like http://www.wefeelfine.org/. Others can hold more more specific data like http://www.munterbund.de/visualisierung_textaehnlichkeiten/sketches.php#Examplesoffinalresults or http://well-formed.eigenfactor.org/index.html.
I have the pleasure to brief on our Data Visualization software "Trend Compass".
ReplyDeleteTC is a new concept in viewing statistics and trends in an animated way by displaying 5 axis (X, Y, Time, Bubble size & Bubble color) instead of just the traditional X and Y axis. It could be used in analysis, research, presentation etc. In the banking sector, we have Deutsche Bank New York as our client.

I hope you could evaluate it and give me your comments. So many ideas are there.
You can download a trial version. It has a feature to export EXE,PPS,HTML and AVI files. The most impressive is the AVI since you can record Audio/Video for the charts you create.

Dear Sir,
ReplyDeleteI have the pleasure to brief on our Data Visualization software
"Trend Compass".
TC is a new concept in viewing statistics and trends in an animated
way by displaying 5 axis (X, Y, Time, Bubble size & Bubble color)
instead of just the traditional X and Y axis. It could be used in
analysis, research, presentation etc. In the banking sector, we have
Deutsche Bank New York as our client.
