They are imagined by those in the design world (often very poorly) and implemented by programmers who do not take their imagination any further. This book, written by an acknowledged expert in the field of visualization, describes how to design dashboards that communicate essential data to users, mostly business-people. As such, its audience consists of designers, not programmers. Although I am a programmer, I enjoy "cross-training" my imagination by thinking in the intellectual "boxes" or "bins" of those around me. Few introduces standard graphs and a couple new ones (bullet graphs and sparklines). He explains the use of each in standard fashion. His real contribution, after explaining the fairly standard song-and-dance, is through the introduction of these new graphs, one of which he invented. I was curious to try to implement these two graphs using R's ggplot. Although I have no immediate use for these types of graphs, it's nice to have new tools in the box of memory to explain people's data accurately and effectively. Is een proloog (buiten de reeks) op
Dashboards have become popular in recent years as uniquely powerful tools for communicating important information at a glance. Although dashboards are potentially powerful, this potential is rarely realized. The greatest display technology in the world won't solve this if you fail to use effective visual design. And if a dashboard fails to tell you precisely what you need to know in an instant, you'll never use it, even if it's filled with cute gauges, meters, and traffic lights. Don't let your investment in dashboard technology go to waste. This book will teach you the visual design skills you need to create dashboards that communicate clearly, rapidly, and compellingly. Information Dashboard Design will explain how to: Avoid the thirteen mistakes common to dashboard design Provide viewers with the information they need quickly and clearly Apply what we now know about visual perception to the visual presentation of information Minimize distractions, cliches, and unnecessary embellishments that create confusion Organize business information to support meaning and usability Create an aesthetically pleasing viewing experience Maintain consistency of design to provide accurate interpretation Optimize the power of dashboard technology by pairing it with visual effectiveness Stephen Few has over 20 years of experience as an IT innovator, consultant, and educator.
