"Let's do some thinking about data visualisation thinking" talk given by Andy Kirk at the 'Data Visualization Group in the Bay Area' Meetup at the University of San Francisco, on Thursday 23rd October 2014 (http://www.meetup.com/visualizemydata/events/212438912/)
This is the portfolio I submitted to Toptal for my design review. It includes wireframes, web page designs, UX & UI experiments, visual designs and quirky little stories about how each project was executed. What do you think of it?
Bike share is a region-wide program that allows the public to rent bicycles docked at self-service stations. You can access the bikes with a day pass or annual membership. Pick them up at one station and drop them off at another. Bike share serves both locals and visitors; a fun and healthy way to reach your destination. Bike share complements other forms of public transit and supports local businesses.
Bike share is rolling in 500 cities worldwide with over 500,000 bikes. By the end of next year, 75 cities in North America will have a program, including our region!
Coast Bike Share is Tampa’s community Bike Share Program. Residents and visitors will have access to 300 public bicycles distributed throughout downtown, Ybor City, and Hyde Park. Use the bikes to commute to work, do errands, visit friends, or just for fun!
Bike Share will enhance transportation options by making it possible to quickly access a public bicycle near places of employment, tourist destinations, educational institutions, and transit stops. The program seeks to encourage bicycle usage as an environmentally-friendly and congestion reducing transportation option.
Birgit Mager & Tina Weisser: 24 Success Factors for Brilliant ImplementationService Design Network
No longer is service design a playground for pretty storyboards – it has become an essential driver for innovation and creator of value for relevant stakeholders. And this value is created through implementation. Still: brilliant concepts often fail when it comes to implementation. Finding answers and better understanding the complex drivers for implementation, barriers and success factors was the motivation behind a 3-year international study. The talk will present the key findings of this study, which investigated complex service design projects at the interface of external SD consultancies and their clients.

"Since the 60s we've imagined the combination of computers and our environment would create both utopias and dystopias. Since the 80's we've seen academics, artists and corporate R&D labs prototype these futures from the top-down. Now, hackers are building sensors, bots and software into everything around them bottom-up, fast, cheap and out-of-control. They're creating environments that react, adapt and respond to us - and perhaps more importantly - each other: The Demon-Haunted World. Matt's session will be a whistlestop tour of those days of future past and pointers to some practical futures we can start building right now, together."

The 2019 JOTW Communications Survey | Trends in Corporate Communications and ...Frank Strong
The 2019 JOTW Communications Survey examines trends in corporate communications and PR. This year’s survey polled 223 communications and public relations (PR) professionals. Some 68% of respondents report holding in-house communication roles and 90% have 10 years or more experience in the industry.The second annual survey was conducted by Sword and the Script Media, LLC in collaboration with Ned Lundquist. Ned launched “Job of the Week” (JOTW) email newsletter in 2001 as a free resource for PR and communications professionals looking for work.
Key findings in this survey include:
>> Budget is the top communications and PR challenge. Budget (59%) was the top challenge for the second year in a row. This was followed by limited staffing or headcount (55%); ever-expanding duties (52%); balancing priorities (49%); and measuring the impact of comms (49%). Just 18% anticipate budgets rising; 51% say they will remain flat and 29% expect budgets to fall.
>> More PR work is being taken in-house. Some 47% of respondents said they’ve observed more PR work being taking in-house. This mirrors broader trends in marketing, where CMOs have slashed agencies in favor of in-house teams. The top reasons for hiring an agency are: execution, expertise and for strategic projects; the top reasons for firing a firm are cost, poor client service and an inability to measure ROI.
>> Storytelling, analytics and thought leadership are the top tactics and trends. The respondents identified storytelling (76%); data & analytics (75%); thought leadership (70%); measurement (66%) and content marketing (64%) as growing more important. While not a majority, those with the most votes for less important were press releases (33%), award programs (31%) and white papers (36%).
>>Media relations continues to get harder. Most respondents (68%) said media relations is harder or much harder – up from 51% last year. Respondents cited reporter turnover, veteran reporters being replaced with junior ones, and “in-your-face-journalism” as contributing causes. Money and standards distinguish media relations from influencer marketing.
>>Top metrics PR pros track. About one-third (29%) think they do an adequate job of communications measurement while 46% say it needs improvement. The most common metrics comms pros said they track includes web traffic (73%); impressions (66%); estimated site traffic (60%); mentions (57%) and email open rates (52%).
>>More communicators report to the CEO than to marketing. More respondents (38%) say the comms function reports to the CEO, versus 35% that say they report to marketing. This was followed by the chief operating officer (9%), strategy (7%) and human resources (5%).

This report is intended primarily for business executives who are making important decisions with the results generated from data analysts and data scientists.
Information design is both a technical skill and an art form. To design great visualizations requires a diverse range of skill sets and a keen ability to understand the decisions to be made, the data available, the tools and platforms available for visualization design, and how to apply design best practices to create effective visualizations that communicate clearly. Even the most robust routine health information systems face challenges around how to visualize data in a way that facilitates decision-making by key stakeholders.

Designing Better Experiences - UX London 2013Cyber-Duck
Slides from the workshop @danny_bluestone and @duckymatt from Cyber-Duck Ltd gave at UX London 2013. The workshop focused on how by putting the user at the centre of design decisions you can deliver a better experience. With a mixture of theory and hands-on activities the workshop covered user research, activity mapping, card sorting and participative sketching techniques.
The notion of allowing access to your website content and data via API's and other machine readable means is well embedded in geek circles.
This presentation aims to look at the non-technical reasons why these approaches are a good idea, arguing that it is time for Machine Readable Data (MRD) approaches to be better communicated to content owners, budget holders and other non-technical stakeholders.

These are the slides from a presentation given to the 2012 Annual Meeting of the American Oil Chemists' Society. It was the third and last presentation in a Forum on Emerging Technologies.
I have made an attempt to capture my talk by adding notes to explain what I was getting at with the graphics. I believe I've been more successful on some slides than I have been on others. Some I have yet to annotate. For some reason this presentation would not upload here when I attempted to share it shortly after I gave it and I was laboring under the mistaken notion it was too large. I have no idea what actually happened and it is my fault it's taken me so long to provide it.
Unicorns are considered to be the rare person who can do both design and development. But, why are they considered rare? Because consider design and development to be separate disciplines.
In this talk, I explore the spectrum of design and development, how designers can be empowered by learning about development, and how developers can be empowered by learning about design.
I gave this talk at the Big Design Conference in Addison, TX on September 6, 2014.

Needing to produce some kind of deliverables throughout a project is inevitable: it might be user research reports to inform senior stakeholder; usability test results to communicate to developers; sketches and wireframes to pass on to web designers.
Just as we make the products and services we design easy to use, the UX of UX is about communicating your thinking in a way that ensures that what you've defined is easy to understand for the reader. It's about adapting the work you do to the project in question and finding the right balance of making people want to look through your work whilst not spending unnecessary time on making it pretty.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
