✦ Text Vectorization

In Summary ✦ Data Visualisation isn’t just about making pretty charts,
it has its own language.
✦ Making your visualisation more accessible and seen by more people is good. But if it miscommunicates, it can be worse than not being seen at all.
✦ Data can be cold, add emotion to humanise your story.
✦ Design should happen before data is processed.
✦ Who, What, Why, How?
