The document discusses the importance and power of visualizing data through various graphic representations. It notes that visualizing information allows us to transform it into an "information map" that is easier to explore and understand when feeling overwhelmed by data. It also states that working with data in a visual way can reveal interesting patterns and emergent insights. Additionally, the document highlights that the eye is highly sensitive to visual patterns and variations, and combining visual and conceptual languages can enhance understanding. Finally, it emphasizes that visualizing information can provide elegant solutions to problems and questions in an efficient manner.

6. The shape that
data can take is
limited only by
the imagination.

8. By visualizing
information, we can it into a
landscape that you can
explore with your eyes, a
kind of map really, a sort of
information map. And when
you're lost in information, an
information map is kind of
useful.

“Data is the new soil

10. It feels like a fertile, creative
medium. Over the years,
online, we've laid down a huge
amount of information and
data, and we irrigate it with
networks and connectivity.
It's a really fertile medium, and it
feels like visualizations, info
graphics, data visualizations, they
feel like flowers blooming from
this medium.

A titanic amount of data out
there now, unprecedented. But if
you ask the right kind of
question, or you work it in the
right kind of way, interesting
things can emerge.

13. The eye is highly sensitive to
patterns in variations in color, shape
and pattern. It loves them, and it calls
them beautiful. It's the language of
the eye.
If you combine the language of the
eye with the language of the mind,
which is about words and numbers
and concepts, you start speaking two
languages simultaneously, each
enhancing the other.

14. “Design is about solving
problems and providing
elegant solutions, and
information design is
about solving information
problems”.

15. “visualizing information can
give us a very quick solution to
various kinds of problems. Even
when the information is
terrible, the visual can be quite
beautiful. Often we can get
clarity or the answer to a simple
question very quickly”
