About Visualization Analysis And Design
Product Description Learn How to Design Effective Visualization Systems Visualization Analysis and Design provides a systematic, comprehensive framework for thinking about visualization in terms of principles and design choices. The book features a unified approach encompassing information visualization techniques for abstract data, scientific visualization techniques for spatial data, and visual analytics techniques for interweaving data transformation and analysis with interactive visual exploration. It emphasizes the careful validation of effectiveness and the consideration of function before form. The book breaks down visualization design according to three questions: what data users need to see, why users need to carry out their tasks, and how the visual representations proposed can be constructed and manipulated. It walks readers through the use of space and color to visually encode data in a view, the trade-offs between changing a single view and using multiple linked views, and the ways to reduce the amount of data shown in each view. The book concludes with six case studies analyzed in detail with the full framework. The book is suitable for a broad set of readers, from beginners to more experienced visualization designers. It does not assume any previous experience in programming, mathematics, human–computer interaction, or graphic design and can be used in an introductory visualization course at the graduate or undergraduate level. Review "Visualization is a young field with only a few primary texts available. What distinguishes this one is the way it synthesizes past work to develop a comprehensive framework for design and analysis. … The author builds a framework for understanding the key elements of visualization and develops a synthesis of current best practices. … The book is filled with examples from the universe of visualization. Virtually all the possibilities for visualization design are illustrated with specific examples. … This is an attractive book, one that’s likely to be a fundamental source for the field. It’s worth a look for anyone with even a passing interest."―MAA Reviews, March 2015 "Munzner’s Visualization Analysis and Design is the first comprehensive textbook covering the topic of information visualization. She covers basic theory, careful analysis of the design space, design methodology, and numerous practical examples. Her taxonomic approach is ideally suited for use in the classroom to guide students through the many design decisions associated with creating effective visualizations."―Chris North, Virginia Tech "Visualization Analysis and Design does a fantastic job in providing a framework and language for analyzing, critiquing, and discussing visualizations. This book provides a wonderful foundation for the field."―Miriah Meyer, University of Utah "Visualization Analysis and Design is a book that fills the gaps in the existing literature. It offers a synthesized view and a framework most useful to guide the newcomer to visualization. The nested model that unifies design and evaluation is particularly enlightening. The book is truly valuable for an initial InfoVis course at the graduate level."―Beatriz Sousa Santos, Universidade de Aveiro "Munzner elegantly synthesizes an astounding amount of cutting-edge work on visualization into a clear, engaging, and comprehensive textbook that will prove indispensable to students, designers, and researchers."―Steven Franconeri, Northwestern University "A very detailed and thorough discussion of many topics central to information visualization. A must-read for researchers, sophisticated practitioners, and graduate students."―Jim Foley, Georgia Institute of Technology "Munzner's new book is thorough and beautiful. It belongs on the shelf of anyone whose work and life are touched and enriched by visualization."―Chris Johnson, University of Utah "Visualization is often presented in the classroom as a motley collection of techniques and algorit
