Notes from Presenting Data & Information course by Edward Tufte
Earlier this month, I finally attended Edward Tufte’s one-day course on Presenting Data and Information, where I learned fundamental design strategies for information displays including sentences, tables, diagrams, maps, charts, images, video, and data visualizations.
My actual live-notes were several more pages, but I summarized them nicer after the class:
Notes from the Class
- Data paragraph
- Evidence and conclusion
- 6 fundamental principle of analytical design
- Presenting Data
- Data annotations
- Data display on maps & topography
- Words, numbers, and images
- Meaning and space
