Data Visualization & Information Design¶

Expressive Command

What you will develop¶

Choose visual encodings that reveal rather than distort quantity, uncertainty, and comparison.

Before you begin¶

Recorded prerequisites:

• Perception, Attention & Affordance
• Form, Composition, Hierarchy & Constraint
• Drawing, Diagramming & Visual Reasoning

Study and practice¶

This is a study outline. A complete practice sequence is not yet available.

• encoding
• scale
• comparison
• uncertainty
• annotation
• small multiples
• perceptual honesty

Visual encoding & perceptual effectiveness¶

Reconstruct -> compare -> make -> critique -> revise -> defend.

Scale, baseline & graphical integrity¶

Reconstruct -> compare -> make -> critique -> revise -> defend.

Uncertainty and distribution display¶

Reconstruct -> compare -> make -> critique -> revise -> defend.

Comparison, annotation & explanatory sequence¶

Reconstruct -> compare -> make -> critique -> revise -> defend.

Intended demonstration¶

Misleading-vs-honest redesign + unseen dataset

This describes the intended standard, not a validated assessment or a claim of mastery.

Reading options¶

Assigned readings, where available, appear in the practice sequence above. These additional recommendations are not all required reading.
