2. What data is…
Data needs
Design Designers
Need to have mindset to communicate it
to others

3. What data is…
Data
weird
Just like
your
undergrad
thesis
People not needing it
People are not obliged to read your work
no matter how brilliant it is
There was a disconnect between really
good analysis vs. the academia and
research institutions
Standardized
collection of
Stories
Meaning

4. How data is processed…
Data
Standardized
collection of
stories
Add context
How bad really is Kuliat Public School in
relation to other public schools?

5. Say, Schools
Rows Columns
How bad really is Kuliat Public School in
relation to other public schools?
How is it
staffed?
No. of
rooms
No. of
students
dropped out
Stories of
each school
Budget per
student

Add more context to the story…

8. Another example,
Rows Columns
Condensing State of the Nation
Addresses of Philippine Presidents

How much
they talk
about
certain
topics
Presidents

9. Looking at tweets,
Rows Columns
it reflects on how a business is run.

11. 5 steps to story telling…

Why need this?
Builds trust
Keeps abstraction to
a minimum
Facilitates info
assessment
Beneficiaries vs.
Population of poor
areas
Cognitive overload
when reading a
table instead

17. Ways to analyze data…
Exploratory Descriptive
Inferential/
Predictive
a b c

18. Ways to analyze data…
Exploratory Descriptive
Inferential/
Predictive
a b c
Display all info available
without removing info
Leads to higher trust No bias Less control

19. Ways to analyze data…
Exploratory Descriptive
Inferential/
Predictive
a b c
Processed to show
subset of data
Less trust
Processed to make it
useful

20. Ways to analyze data…
Exploratory Descriptive
Inferential/
Predictive
a b c
Lots of control to show
audience
Making conclusions

21. Visualizing
Cartesian
Elements – deliberate design
Polar
coordinates
Points
Columns
Bars
Coordinates Geometries Aesthetics
Color
Size
Width
Shape
Mapped to a data value
Should represent
something

22. If it’s not ‘mappable’, don’t map it.

23. We want as much information density as
possible
But we don’t want to put all the information there.

24. Visualize these…
Financial habits of Filipino
household
Election data

25. Why do this?
Filipinos have problem with
scale
Most organizations have
small windows to get to see
what people are doing.
They do well in coordination
but once it increases in size,
dysfunction settles in
Lacks trust
Lack of common
data/ info
available
Bureaucracy Nationalism
Patronage
politics
Little kingdoms Control
