THE FUTURE OF DATA VISUALIZATION
What is data visualization?
My approach
PERSPECTIVEData Visualization+
CLEVER°FRANKE combines strategy, design and technology to create data driven tools that drive change.

Conclusion
The world is changing rapidly from generalised overviews to targeted, personalised, localised information
From macro to micro
How data visualisation evolves will be determined by the way we can access data, and how we process & present it.
Access & presentation
Data visualisation is a means to an end. As we’ve seen in all the examples, data visualisation is just a small element in a larger ‘system’.
Means to an end
We must design for the whole ecosystem in which data ‘lives’ and creating awareness of the whole system to users (data literacy).
Data literacy
Creators need to think about the balance between giving the full insight or just summarise information.
Challenge for designers
Data visualisation professionals must do everything they can to guide users through complexity and contribute to the understanding of people about the world around them.
What data visualisation can do
EXCITING TIMES!
