IMPERFECTIONS
COMPLEXITIES
The visual representation and presentation
of data to facilitate understanding
A game of decisions: There’s no such thing as perfect
A game of decisions: There’s no such thing as perfect
Perceiving Interpreting Comprehending
What does it mean?
Is it good or bad?
Meaningful or insignificant?
Unusual or expected?
What does it show?
What’s plotted?
How do things compare?
What relationships exist?
What does it mean to me?
What are the main messages?
What have I learnt?
Any actions to take?
CREATOR’S RESPONSIBILITY CONSUMER’S RESPONSIBILITY
What colour shall we make the axis lines?
How thick should the lines be?
How long should the lines be?
How will we label them?
Should we label them?
Do we want tick marks as well?
Do we even need the lines?
It depends.
A game of decisions: Complex more than complicated
To make the best decisions you need to be familiar with all your
options and aware of the things that will influence your choices.
A game of decisions: Complex more than complicated

Design workflow: Effective decisions, efficiently made
Do I have believe that
what I see is faithful to
the data and the
subject?
Am I able to
understand this work
with a proportionate
amount of effort?
Does the way this work
is presented inspire me
to engage with it?

What’s the curiosity? What are the project conditions? What’s the purpose?
http://filmographics.visualisingdata.com/
“What is the pattern of success or failure in the
movie careers of a range of notable actors/directors?”
What’s the curiosity? “An eagerness to understand something”
What are the conditions? The factors and requirements

Working with data: Understanding its properties and qualities
Qualitative (Textual)
Bolt quote: “It wasn't perfect today, but I got it done
and I’m pretty proud of what I've achieved.
Nobody else has done it or even attempted it”
Categorical (Nominal) The athletics event: Men's 100m
Categorical (Ordinal) The medal category: Gold
Quantitative (Interval)
The estimated temperature at track level
during the Men's 100m: 28℃
Quantitative (Ratio) Usain Bolt’s winning time: 9.81 seconds
