How To Prove Your Point With Data
Ian Lurie, one of my favorite bloggers, has a quick, easy to understand presentation on data that persuades. As I’ve seen my share of poorly created graphs and impossible to understand data visualizations over the years, I loved this and thought it worth embedding.
If you’re in any facet of marketing, media or PR this is a must click-through.

Great presentation, definitely something most of us (including me) can learn from. Lizard. Ape. Human.
Let’s see how I can change my datasheets ;-)

Nice Presentation…
I am actually from a Designing Field wherein we use to create lot of such presentations… we do lot of stuffs but at the end we should read the content to know what exactly it means.
But this presentation is just amazing… one can understand things easily just looking at it :)
Thanks for sharing!!!

This was a great presentation – thanks for passing it along!
Those vegetables, or whatever plant they were, above the bar graphs were totally distracting! I think it’s a great point she makes about the visual tasks the viewer of presentation has to perform and the idea of keeping that to a minimum.
I’m going to use her idea of breaking the data up into smaller multiples – makes it so much easier to compare the changes.
