Text might be the most neglected part of #dataviz. We talk a lot about how the right chart type and colors can improve visualizations – but not enough about how to use words well.

So I wrote about that in my latest article: https://blog.datawrapper.de/text-in-data-visualizations/

What to consider when using text in data visualizations

How to make your data visualizations easier to read (and more interesting to look at!) with the right use of text.

Our paper "Using Animation to Alleviate Overdraw in Multiclass Scatterplot Matrices" will be presented at CHI 2018 on Thu 4/26 at 11am in Montréal!

Our approach uses a simple animation loop to alleviate overdraw in one of the hardest settings---multiclass SPLOMs.

It is work with our former undergrad student Helen Chen, myself, Alark Joshi, & Beste Yuksel at USF, Eric Ragan at Texas A&M, and Lane Harrison at WPI.

Animated SPLOMs

Does anyone have any reading recommendations related to introductory data visualization? (I already have "A Tour through the Visualization Zoo" on my list.)

It needs to be printable (i.e. not a video or interactive), and target a non-expert non-CS audience. Ideally, I am looking for something that will help excite people about the general area but those people may be primarily interested in journalism, data science, computer science, art, design, marketing or advertising, and so on.
