| Summary: | When Chief Brody first sees the shark in Jaws he backs away from the stern of the Orca and quietly, but certainly, tells Quint, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” That one line, combined with a terrific delivery by Roy Scheider, packs a great deal of contextual information into six words. Packing meaning into finite space is a key concept in Data Visualization. In this session, Mark and Trish will discuss the fundamentals of human visual perception, including the important distinction between pre-attentive and attentive processing. We will use fun examples from films like Jaws, The Wizard of Oz, and Star Wars to show important aspects of visual analysis around color, form, position, and motion. By the end of this session attendees will have a solid understanding of the importance of data visualization and the best strategies to effectively convey meaning with graphs and charts.
