A Practical Guide to Designing with Data

In recent years, the terms Visualization, Infographic and others have been bantered around with almost no regard to their use or meaning. There is a new vernacular emerging in the realms of data representations, but that doesn’t mean we can ignore the much simpler origins and best practices of charts and graphs. Brian Suda takes you on a journey through the basics and makes it easy to produce beautiful looking, accurate representations of data. He’ll walk you through how to visualize and design data in such a way that it engages the reader and tells a story rather than just being flashy, cluttered and confusing. Foreword by Jeremy Keith

Brian is an informatician currently residing in Reykjavík, Iceland. He has spent a good portion of each day connected to the Internet after discovering it back in the mid-1990s. Most recently, he has been focusing more on the mobile space and future predictions. This could include better visualizations of data, interactions, work-flows and ethnographic studies of how we relate to these digital objects. His own little patch of Internet can be found at suda.co.uk where many of his past projects and crazy ideas can be found.
