Why Infographics Rule: Marketing & online resources

Why Infographics Rule: Marketing & online resources | visual data | Scoop.it
From www.forbes.com - January 10, 5:05 AM

Humans are visual creatures.

Most of us process information based on what we see and 65 percent of us are considered visual learners.


Social media has created this intense desire and opportunity to share what we learn. Most of us enjoy sharing ideas, especially when there’s a video or a photograph or drawing.


Sure, we’ll share something that’s written: a blog post or tweet or status update, but how many times have you heard of one of those going viral? Mostly, you hear about funny or compelling photos or videos catching fire.

If you can’t create one of those, then you  may want to look into creating an infographic...

Data Visualization: Communication & Creativity

Data Visualization: Communication & Creativity | visual data | Scoop.it
From www.research-live.com - January 8, 4:23 PM

Visual communication skills are alien to some in the research industry, but they needn’t be. Data visualisation can become part of the research process through smart hiring, skills training and expert partnerships.


Data visualisation should not be regarded as an end in itself; the real point to data visualisation - the value that it brings to research buyers and suppliers - is as an aid to storytelling. It’s about seeing the patterns in the data that flush out a story and then help you to start telling that story. Only by doing that can you move data off the spreadsheet and out into the real world of consumer behaviour and preferences.

The best analogy and the one used frequently, is with journalism. It’s no surprise either that many great examples of data visualisation come from the publishing and media sectors. Journalists face the same challenge that we do of sifting large amounts of often conflicting data to arrive at a truth or an insight...

Data Science Is the New Black

Data Science Is the New Black | visual data | Scoop.it
From www.impatientoptimists.org - March 6, 2012 1:30 PM

As Tim O’Reilly tweeted last week, “Data Science is the new black.” Data has definitely got people talking and rethinking the implications, and that includes a growing number of leading journalists and journalism schools…and media funders.

 

Consider just three recent happenings:

-Earlier this year, data camps were held at both Columbia University and University of Texas.
-At the Mozilla Festival in London late last year, a team of developers, designers, and digital journalists set out to write the first Data Journalism Handbook.
-Just last month, the Global Editors Network announced the first data journalism awards.
