Garage48 Visualising Data

Have you ever stared at a massive spreadsheet of data and thought how much prettier it would look when visualised? Does your mind instantly wanders to diagrams, charts and graphs or do you prefer to bring data alive through animation and movement?

The art of making data beautiful and sexy is taking the world by storm. Data and data analysis have taken on a new quality and what used to be simple charts are now complex and creative pieces of data art. A good visualization tells a narrative, removing the noise from data and highlighting the useful information - it’s a storytelling with a purpose.
