Questions in dataviz : a design-driven process for data visualisation / Neil Richards.

Summary:

"Questions in Dataviz: A Design-Driven Process for Data Visualization takes the reader through the process of learning and creating data visualization, starting with a selection of basic principles, all the way to how to bend and break the rules to come up with unique ideas. Each easy-to-follow chapter poses one key question and provides an array of valuable answers, including data visualization examples throughout. Structured in three parts, Part 1 introduces fundamental data visualization principles, Part 2 introduces more unusual questions, challenges best practices and reveals when rules are open to interpretation, while Part 3 looks at ideas leading on to specific projects in more detail. The book also shares the inspiration and practical knowledge behind a successful data visualization blog. Questions in Dataviz will appeal to any reader with an interest in creative data visualization and will be especially useful for those at a beginner or intermediate level, or those who want to step away from conventional business charts for non-business projects"-- Provided by publisher.
