Graphics reveal data.
This statement by Edward Tufte is the leading principle for the new booklet about data visualization using Photoshop CS3. Excellence in statistical graphics and visuals, Tufte believes, “consists of complex ideas communicated with clarity, precision and efficiency.” You will learn how to display quantitative data using Tufte’s design principles, which guide all descriptions and tutorials in this booklet. The tutorial will take a previously published data graph and provide you with the steps to meet the design goals and create the final visual. The example is contrasted with the conventional graphic approach if you were to use Excel. Get the booklet Data Visualization! Discover how to use Photoshop to display quantitative data and produce graphs that “sing” your message to colleagues and reviewers alike. After reading this booklet and completing the tutorial you will smirk at Excel template-based 3D bar charts.
