Aesthetics & Analytics: Do we need nice charts?
We humans love to look at nice things. Staring at a painting’s harmonic colors or looking at the symmetry of leaves on a tree often make us wonder or fill us with joy. In data-land, we always emphasize effectiveness and functionality, but just how important is the looks of our analytics? Do we need aesthetic dashboards or harmonic looking charts, and if yes how can we achieve good results without spending too much time on it? The presentation aims to answer these questions and discuss the role of color, shape, and composition in analytics through a series of examples and the presenter’s experiences regarding the topic.
