The Design Choices You Make for Information:
How to Create Great Data Visualizations

Brian Suda

Length: 90 minutes

You’ll Learn to:

• Use charts and graphs differently

Use charts and graphs differently

You'll see examples of some awesome—and some not so awesome—visualizations.

• Consider the breadth of graphics available and uses for each
• Describe two types of stories using a single bar graph

Choose colors that work (literally)

Your designs will be seen and recalled by more people.

• Select colors that are accessible to people with color blindness
• Capitalize on contrast and depth while avoiding common mistakes

Spot lies in data

You'll watch how information can be misrepresented.

• See how graphics and data can affect one another—for better or worse
• Find out how Steve Jobs once represented Apple's iPhone sales

Tell one story in the best way possible

You'll take away new techniques to apply in your daily work.

• Learn to communicate information without "chart junk"
• Adapt your data and graphic selection process to focus on a single idea

Why Brian Suda?

Ok. We know you might already have read A Practical Guide to Designing with Data, Brian Suda’s book on information design, which was published in 2010 by Five Simple Steps.

And we’re guessing you’ve probably used some of his incredibly practical tools and templates, such as his color tests or microformats cheat sheet, in your own work. Or perhaps you’ve gained inspiration and direction from some of Brian’s masterful work designing information for companies like PwC.

But we know you haven’t heard this seminar. And we also know that once you do, you’ll never look at data visualizations the same way again. Which -- for what soon-will-be your many adoring fans -- is a very good thing. Follow Brian on Twitter @briansuda.
