    27: [Mini] 3 Things I'll Try To Do Better After Reading Tufte's Book Aug 28, 2018
    Show notes

    I loved reading Edward Tufte's "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information" for the first time as part of the Data Vis Book Club! He's known as a pioneer in the data viz field but has also received criticism for his "my way or the highway" approach. I highly recommend reading his book, not necessarily as a data viz rulebook, but as a valuable perspective to consider. In this episode, I talk about the 3 things that I'll try to do better in my data visualizations now that I've read Tufte's book. What about you?
