A good visualization can communicate the nature and potential impact of
information and ideas more powerfully than any other form of
communication.For a long time “dataviz†was left to
specialists—data scientists and professional designers. No longer. A new
generation of tools and massive amounts of available data make it easy
for anyone to create visualizations that communicate ideas far more
effectively than generic spreadsheet charts ever could.What’s
more, building good charts is quickly becoming a need-to-have skill for
managers. If you’re not doing it, other managers are, and they’re
getting noticed for it and getting credit for contributing to your
company’s success.In Good Charts, dataviz maven Scott
Berinato provides an essential guide to how visualization works and how
to use this new language to impress and persuade. Dataviz today is where
spreadsheets and word processors were in the early 1980s—on the cusp of
changing how we work. Berinato lays out a system for thinking visually
and building better charts through a process of talking, sketching, and
prototyping.This book is much more than a set of static rules
for making visualizations. It taps into both well-established and
cutting-edge research in visual perception and neuroscience, as well as
the emerging field of visualization science, to explore why good charts
(and bad ones) create “feelings behind our eyes.†Along the way,
Berinato also includes many engaging vignettes of dataviz pros,
illustrating the ideas in practice.Good Charts will help
you turn plain, uninspiring charts that merely present information into
smart, effective visualizations that powerfully convey ideas.
