In Robert Rouse’s blog post on
the Interworks site the author explored the evolution of political divides in
the United States over the past 20 years based on Pew Research Center data. Mr.
Rouse created the visualization using Tableau and in his blog discussed some of
the design and implementation decisions he made along the way and noting
sources of inspiration from other visualizations he had seen.
Mr. Rouse spends a couple
paragraphs on his color use, the special issues of color that come up when
discussing political party issues, and finding neutral colors that would not
introduce any bias on political topics or party affiliations. Selecting colors,
the design of titles and annotations, and the layout of the visualization all
required careful thought to avoid bias pitfalls, distractions, and the misleading
or ambiguous presentation of data.
In Enrico Bertini’s blog “Fell
in Love with Data” entry concerning “Data Visualization or Data Interaction?”
the author discusses the value of visualization of data in an interactive
exploratory mode to use the computer as a means to spot features in the data
and then “ask” further questions based on an iterative discovery and
visualization process.
In Raffael Marty’s post he
made available the slide deck he used as a recent security conference. Marty
has worked on visualization of network security data for many years and wrote a
book, Applied Security Visualization, in 2008 where he presents a variety of
different visualizations for different types of information security logs and
metadata. In his presentation he talks about the different uses of
visualization, such as present vs discover, the use of data mining techniques
to process large amounts of data and pull out statistical outliers, and then
using different visualization techniques to allow the human to interact with the
data to find potential malicious activity of concern.
