Prepared for the Voting Information Technology Summit, Leslie Bradshaw of JESS3 walks through some of the fundamentals of creating compelling and engaging content that is still informative through data visualization. Presentation was originally delivered in Austin, TX on December 10, 2010.

2. What is Data Visualization?

3. Data visualization is the study of the
visual representation of data,
meaning information which has been
abstracted in some schematic form,
including attributes or variables for the
units of information.
-Wikipedia & Michael Friendly

4. Data visualization is using size,
shape, color and relativity to
represent information in a compelling
and engaging way. It is visual storytelling
meets math.
-JESS3 & Leslie Bradshaw
