FF Chartwell Font

 

This font lets you take simple strings of numbers and transform them into charts. The visualized data remains editable, allowing for hassle-free updates and styling.   I have been looking for something like this to create better looking charts and graphs than what excel, powerpoint, or survey monkey can do with their built in chart generators which are ugly.

 

The demo screencast uses Photoshop, so I had look up how to find the Open Type menu for WORD.    You have to go to the advanced menus on fonts which is a little arrow underneath the basic font commands.  I was hoping I could use in PPT, but PPT does not have Open Type integrated.  You can use it in Publisher.  It requires exporting as a jpg.

 

Slightly more tedious but it slowed me down enough to think about how I wanted to present the findings - what was the insight to ask.

11 of the Most Influential Infographics of the 19th-Century... | Visualization Techniques and Practice | Scoop.it

We live in a world steeped in graphic information. From Google Maps and GIS to the proliferation of infographics and animated maps, visual data surrounds us.

While we may think of infographics as a relatively recent development to make sense of the immense amount of data available on the Web, they actually are rooted in the 19th century.

Two major developments led to a breakthrough in infographics: advances in lithography and chromolithography, which made it possible to experiment with different types of visual representations, and the availability of vast amounts of data, including from the American Census as well as natural scientists, who faced heaps of information about the natural world, such as daily readings of wind, rainfall, and temperature spanning decades.

But such data was really only useful to the extent that it could be rendered in visual form. And this is why innovation in cartography and graphic visualization mattered so greatly...
