Data Visualisation:
Meaning:
These images represent data visualisation as they explore the navigation fields and guidelines in an artistic manner. They depict on the abstract and surreal nature of art and demonstrate the practises and understanding that interprets sectors of data then generate an artform to intensify the meaning of what it's trying to represent.
Displaying of Data Visualisation:The use of colours and shapes are common means in differentiating between the emphasism placed upon the message that wants to be justified. The use of the colours and shapes play a role in linking the navigation and areas of study together and to symbolise different aspects that can elaborate or dont show importance and to conduct methods in understanding the partial difference of the areas of study.
Why data visualisation?:
"The main goal of data visualization is its ability to visualize data, communicating information clearly and effectivelty. 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 tend to discard the balance between design and function, creating gorgeous data visualizations which fail to serve its main purpose — communicate information." 1
As stated above the main purpose is the fusion between the basic design principles or factors of function and aesthetics and for the viewer to become more understanding and being able to receive the message in a aesthetical way.
