In recent years, there has been an explosion in the attention for “data visualization”, “information visualization” and “information graphics” (which are all related). In this course, we will work on learning both conceptual and practical skills related to any kind of useful visualization of (any kind of) data. We will learn about principles of visual encoding, about the wide spectrum of different types of visualization, and about what makes a data visualization good or bad. We will learn skills for the critical analysis of data visualizations, for the generation of data visualization ideas, for the conceptual development of data visualizations, and for the actual making of data visualizations.
