I love the d3 graphs produced by the New York Times. This data could be presented a myriad of terrible, excel-friendly ways, but wouldn't be nearly as expressive or clear.
These uses for d3 consistently show that clear datavis can be as important as clear copy, a clear UI, or a clear call-to-action.
- jlarocco 12y agoI didn't find the graphs particularly expressive or clear. It took me a while to figure out what was going on, and even now I'm not 100% sure I understand exactly what they're supposed to be showing me or why it's relevant. I do agree that data visualization is important, I'm just not sure this is the best example of great data visualization.
