THE DATA VISUALIZATION SKETCHBOOK Stephanie D. H. Evergreen, Evergreen Data & Evaluation, LLC Data visualization experts have been recommending sketching as a path to step away from the intensity of the digital environment. Sketching is seen as a method by which to quickly iterate through several possible visualizations, allowing for fast failure and revision, which would take hours on a computer. Sketching helps people realize mistakes and fi nd solutions quickly. The Data Visualization Sketchbook includes template pages, where Evergreen structures the skeleton of an infographic or dashboard, and users can fi ll in the spaces with their content. Other pages are graph- lined so people can sketch out graphs to scale and some are completely blank for free sketching. The Sketchbook is a great place to make mockups of visuals before refi ning them digitally and is a must-have accompaniment to Effective Data Visualization and Presenting Data Effectively SPIRAL ISBN: 978-1-5443-5100-1 • APRIL 2019 • 160 PAGES EFFECTIVE DATA VISUALIZATION, 2E + SKETCHBOOK (SEE ENTRY ABOVE) BUNDLE ISBN: 978-1-5443-7178-8 NOW IN 4-COLOR!
