Product Description

Explore different perspectives and approaches to create more effective visualizations

#MakeoverMonday offers inspiration and a giant dose of perspective for those who communicate data. Originally a small project in the data visualization community, #MakeoverMonday features a weekly chart or graph and a dataset that community members reimagine in order to make it more effective. The results have been astounding; hundreds of people have contributed thousands of makeovers, perfectly illustrating the highly variable nature of data visualization. Different takes on the same data showed a wide variation of theme, focus, content, and design, with side-by-side comparisons throwing more- and less-effective techniques into sharp relief.

This book is an extension of that project, featuring a variety of makeovers that showcase various approaches to data communication and a focus on the analytical, design and storytelling skills that have been developed through #MakeoverMonday. Paging through the makeovers ignites immediate inspiration for your own work, provides insight into different perspectives, and highlights the techniques that truly make an impact.

Explore the many approaches to visual data communication
Think beyond the data and consider audience, stakeholders, and message
Design your graphs to be intuitive and more communicative

Assess the impact of layout, color, font, chart type, and other design choices

Creating visual representation of complex datasets is tricky. Thereâs the mandate to include all relevant data in a clean, readable format that best illustrates what the data is sayingâ"but there is also the designerâs impetus to showcase a command of the complexity and create multidimensional visualizations that âlook cool.â #MakeoverMonday shows you the many ways to walk the line between simple reporting and design artistry to create exactly the visualization the situation requires.
