Event overview
Sven Laqua gives an overview of how Digital Science create data visualisations for online and print publication.
In the last few years, the field of data visualisation has outgrown the context of niche tools, expert users and boring financial presentations. Today, data visualisations are increasingly used by all parts of a business - from the use of infographics in marketing to interactive dashboards in software products.
In this guest lecture, Sven Laqua (Head of user experience, Digital Science) provides an overview of how data visualisations are used at Digital Science - within the software products we build as well as in other contexts such as for print publication purposes. He will focus on the overall process involved - from the original brief, the various challenges along the way, to the final visualisation solutions being shipped.
