1. THE BEAUTY OF DATA
VISUALIZATION
ANALYSIS OF TED TALK BY DAVID MCCANDLESS

2. INFORMATIVE INSIGHTS

3. NOWADAYS, WE ARE SUFFERING FROM
INFORMATION OVERLOAD OR DATA GLUT.

4. WHAT IS VISUALIZATION??
IT HELPS US IN SEEING THE PATTERNS AND
CONNECTIONS THAT MATTER AND ALLOWS US TO
FOCUS ONY ON THE INFORMATION THAT’S
IMPORTANT.
ALSO IT LOOKS REALLY COOL…..

6. INFORMATION MAP
• BY VISUALIZING INFORMATION,
WE CAN TURN IT INTO A
LANDSCAPE THAT YOU CAN
EXPLORE WITH YOUR EYES, A
SORT OF INFORMATION MAP.
• AND WHEN YOU ARE LOST IN
INFORMATION, AN
INFORMATION MAP IS KIND OF
USEFUL..

8. “
DATA FEELS LIKE A FERTILE CREATIVE MEDIUM.
WE HAVE LAID DOWN A HUGE AMOUNT OF
INFORMATION AND DATA, AND WE IRRIGATE
IT WITH NETWORK AND CONNECTIVITY. IT IS A
REALLLY FERTILE MEDIUM AND IT FEELS LIKE
VISUALIZATIONS, INFOGRAPHICS, DATA
VISUALIZATIONS, THEY FEEL LIKE FLOWERS
BLOOMING FROM THIS MEDIUM.
”

9. THE EYE IS EXQUISITELY SENSITIVE TO PATTERNS IN
VARIATIONS IN COLOR, SHAPE AND PATTERN. IF YOU COMBINE
THE LANGUAGE OF THE EYE WITH THE LANGUAGE OF THE
MIND, WHICH IS ABOUT WORDS, NUMBERS AND CONCEPTS,
YOU START SPEAKING TWO LANGUAGES SIMULTANEUSLY,
EACH ENHANCING THE OTHER.

10. LET THE DATASET CHANGE
YOUR MINDSET, AND IF CAN DO
THAT, MAYBE IT CAN CHANGE
YOUR BEHAVIOUR TOO.

11. WE NEED RELATIVE FIGURES SO THAT WE CAN
SEE A FULLER PICTURE AND THEN THAT CAN
LEAD TO US CHANGING OUR PERSPECTIVE.

12. RELEVANCE TO A MANAGER

13. EFFECTIVE DATA VISUALIZATION HELPS IN BETTER
DECISION MAKING AS THE MANAGER WILL HAVE
CLARITY IN HIS MIND ABOUT THE CURRENT STATE
OF THE ORGANISATION AND THE FUTURE GOALS
THAT ARE ACHIEVABLE.
USING CHARTS, GRAPHS AND OTHER VISUALLY
IMOACTFUL REPRESENTATIONS IS ESSENTIAL AS
THEY ARE ENGAGING AND HELPS TO PUT THE
MESSAGE ACROSS QUICKLY

14. BETTER VISUALIZATIONS

BETTER IMPACT ON CLIENTS
BETTER PROFITS
