The main point I'm making is that people need to look into how to do this properly (study it a bit) and seek feedback before blasting it at their audience / all over the t'interweb. "Give it a go" with a little bit of thought.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16930710763263953574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876142703178367449.post-91767967615818284942011-04-17T14:45:47.864-07:002011-04-17T14:45:47.864-07:00There is also another issue here in that if people...There is also another issue here in that if people don't "give it a go", then this is going to make it harder for them to learn about what works and what doesn't. <br /><br />Ultimately what works is going to depend on your audience, the data your seeking to represent, and the message your seeking to get across, (although this should always be determined by the data, so as to be a true representation of the data) so getting this right is always going to be a bit of a juggling act, plus of course different people are always going to have different opinions on what works and what doesn't.<br /><br />That's not of course to excuse bad data representation, which does happen more than it should, its simply to suggest we should more tolerant and aware of the data representations we see, especially when we come across them on the t'interweb - they may not have been originally intended for the audience that now reads them, they may have been written by people not as experienced as you. Above all I don't think anyone should let anything they see discourage them from trying.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267996511655875906noreply@blogger.com
