Our group had Data Visualization as our topic, and the video was saying that how visualization has impacted our daily lives strongly in every topics and environments, and how it has gotten easier for people to see information at once with visual-aids. According to wikipedia, it says "According to Friedman (2008) the "main goal of data visualization is to communicate information clearly and effectively through graphical means. It doesn’t mean that data visualization needs to look boring to be functional or extremely sophisticated to look beautiful. To convey ideas effectively, both aesthetic form and functionality need to go hand in hand, providing insights into a rather sparse and complex data set by communicating its key-aspects in a more intuitive way. Yet designers often fail to achieve a balance between form and function, creating gorgeous data visualizations which fail to serve their main purpose — to communicate information"
Data visualization affected our lives so much, and we are so used to have it with us, it seems like we will be confused and lost if we do not have any visuals with certain infomation. So we had about 18 examples in our presentation, with different visuals to support the idea. There were tons of different ideas and types of various visualization such as graphs, timelines, and posters. We gathered few and put it in a prezi presentation which is another form and tool of visualization.
