Visualising data

Philosophy and psychology of good plots



A grab-bag of links about making data visually comprehensible. For now this is mostly a lift of people I want to link to, but I might also share some insight into good communicative graphic design if, heaven forfend, I end up needing to pretend to be a graphic designer in some dire strait. A weird corner of this discipline is the specialisation, data dashboards, which appeals to executives and thus has money in it, so has its own notebook.
