The Design & Redesign Critique in Data Visualisation

In Design, Image, Visualization by Fredy Ore

I came across this brilliant Medium post title Design & Redesign in Data Visualisation which discusses the recent trend of the design critique in dataviz.

Design-And-Redesign-Data-Viz

Last year, Alberto Cairo wrote about Visualisation Redesign on The Functional Art, and this essay goes more in-depth on the benefits.

I really love how a critique exposes a forced-push towards better design thinking and design.

Love it! :)

The example above is of the Arab Spring Data Visualisation by Alexander Katin / Kir Khanchaturov and the redesign by Alberto Cairo.
