Discussion
Question 1:
Reflect on your most recent visualization project and try to sketch or write out the approach you took. What stages of activity did you undertake and in what sequence? Did it feel efficient or chaotic? Was it interrupted by changes, uncertainty or a sense of too much choice? Before you can seek to improve your ongoing approach, it is worth unpicking what you currently do and how you do it.
Question 2:
"As organizations expand their digital infrastructures, the amount of data being collected is growing at an ever-increasing pace. This deluge presents a new set of challenges, and the most crucial of these - making sense of it all - depends on data visualization. Digital tools like Many Eyes and Tableau Software have empowered companies and the public to create visualizations using built-in templates, but they have also spurred a desire for more control over visual method, layout, style, and branding."
