Visualising Data: 1 year, 6 months ago · ViewHi Guys,
not heard back from you really on the session so have had to think about these thing myself. Below is how Tuesday’s session will loosely flow;
We will do some brief introductions to one another and some background on how the session came about. What we are excited about?
I will then just share some thoughts and examples of infographics, ways they are being used, and why?
We will then just set the scene around one of the projects we are currently working on, the data that will be collected etc.
It will then pretty much be over to you. We will split into two groups, and over the rest of the time you will work in your groups concepting ideas for how this data can be used in interesting ways. We will have some data for you to use, and different materials to generate ideas and refine concepts.
By the end of the session we will ask you to come back together and share your process and ideas. We will also have a talk around how we see the use of visual data might be used within the council, how important we think it is, if that challenges some assumptions around roles, and if we want to do more going forward.
Hope this sounds ok.
See you Tuesday. Looking forward to it.
Joe

Visualising Data: 1 year, 7 months ago · ViewThanks for sorting this Joe. My team can share some thoughts on how much data we have (hint: it’s a lot) and what kind of things it covers.

Visualising Data: 1 year, 7 months ago · ViewHi All, Really keen for you to express what you would like to get out of this first session here so we can sort of “crowdsource” the agenda for the first workshop. It would be great if we can get something tangible out of the session – even if thats a data visual about data [...]

Visualising Data: 1 year, 7 months ago · ViewThis was shown at Solace Summit today – well worth a look in terms of managing complex and diverse information and then being able to make connections from it. http://michellzappa.com/map/

Visualising Data: 1 year, 7 months ago · ViewAlso saw this on GOOD website today – nice interactive infographic that shows trends in higher education – http://bit.ly/oLT5R1 – its interactive, so you may need to view in home browsers, but its well worth a look around layering up information to make it manageable.

Visualising Data: 1 year, 7 months ago · ViewWe have quite a lot of data, so the first job would be to decide what might be interesting to have a play with.
The spending over £500 data could make our own ”million-pound-a-gram” and the health data in the JSNA pages on Surreyi is really interesting – we could create something that helps people understand some of the health issues in the county.
I can provide the data experts if you can come up with the design genius! - Load More
