Some data visualizations are meant to be understood in seconds; the cleaner and clearer the data is conveyed, the better. Other times, it’s more important to capture the audience’s eye, draw their attention, and evoke a feeling or emotion, rather than presenting the data in precise values. And what if you want both? Explaining the data while maintaining a strong focus on visual aesthetics?
In this presentation, Nadieh will take you on a journey through her client and personal projects, inspiring you on what's possible in visualizing data, and sharing her favorite lessons on making a visual more effective, beautiful and memorable. She’ll demonstrate how to navigate the spectrum between straightforward data visualizations and data art, or land somewhere beautifully in between. While her work is created using JavaScript and d3.js, the lessons she shares will be practical and tool-agnostic, offering valuable insights for both data visualization beginners and seasoned practitioners alike.
It’s time to move beyond pre-programmed defaults, to think outside the chart. It’s time to unlock the full potential of data through innovative design and produce visuals that resonate long after the numbers have been crunched.
