Who wrote the definitive book on Data Visualization? I say it's Willard C Brinton and my session will make you agree. You'll become an evangelist too and hopefully, in 100 yrs time, our grandchildren will look back and realise 2014 was the year we started making the whole of society data literate.
Transcript of Let's make Willard Brinton a household name.
What is the best book about data
visualization?
“As the cathedral is to its
foundation, so is an
effective presentation of
the facts to the data.”
Willard Brinton, 1914

I’ve read the book so you don’t have to.
(Although you should. It’s great.)
Sharing viz was hard back then
Why are we still making the same
mistakes?
100yrs later, society still has poor levels of
visual literacy
Let’s make Brinton famous and ensure that in 2114 we are great at chart design.
