Event Details
As individuals and companies across the world rely more and more heavily on social media, data visualization has become sine qua non in not only displaying analytics and metrics, but also in understanding macro and micro trends by platform, network and individual. This panel will explore information design, data visualization, relationship mapping and statistics -- and how they all fit together to create compelling infographics, data visualizations and dynamic dashboards in hot pursuit of the holy grail of information design: make it more digestible and more human. Proposed by well-known data visualization firm JESS3 (see especially: The Conversation Prism and The State of the Internet), the panel will not only share insights into what makes a good infographic or social media data visualization, but also seek to explore the significance of these graphics in relation to the expanding reach and uses of social media as not just tellers of social media stories, but part of larger content-based communications strategies. Robin Richards Art Dir JESS3 LLC Born on St Helena Island, in the South Atlantic Ocean, Robin studied in Colchester, Essex, UK, before returning to St Helena, where he worked as a teacher, ordnance surveyor and in local media.  While on the island, Richards started and ran his own design business - the only one a 1,500 mile radius - and, as the story goes, owned the only imac and ipod in the South Atlantic for some time. In 2009, he moved to Bristol, UK where he started work with a new digital start with a focus on infographics, before moving on to become part of the JESS3 design team. Where he is responsible for overseeing their infographic output, while also working on on data visualisation across web and mobile platforms. His work has been featured on Techcrunch, Flowing Data, Fast Company, Gizmodo, BBC, Guardian, Alltop, Foursquare (I voted) and, his personal fav - informationisbeautiful.
