Description Data visualization is a hot topic. It's been called "the communication tool for the information age." For many people, however, it has become synonymous with pretty pictures and slickly animated charts that may be interactive but don't necessarily convey meaningful, much less actionable, information. The reality is designing with data now needs to be an integral part of digital product and service innovation, creating value through new brand engagements. From user interface, to personalization, to branded utility--knowing how to design data-driven experiences will become essential to business communication. In this presentation, we will dispel some of the more popular misconceptions about data visualization and put forth a model for its practice.
