Alberto Cairo - VISUALIZATION AND GRAPHIC DESIGN FOR SCIENTISTS

This event is organised by University of Copenhagen.

Let’s get there in plenty of time - I’ll set up a separate event for those wanting to meet afterwards and discuss the talk.

VISUALIZATION AND GRAPHIC DESIGN FOR SCIENTISTS

When designing a data visualization, showing the data comes first. After all, the main goal of a visualization is letting the reader spot patterns and trends behind numbers. But what if the visualization we design is to be presented to a general audience? In that case we may want to think deeply about visual design elements such as typography, color, composition, and hierarchy. This talk teaches non-designers such as scientists and statisticians how to make our charts, graphs, publications, and conference posters look better.
