Questions in Dataviz Book Cover

The Book

A visual journey through the 'why' and 'how' of creative
(and sometimes unconventional) data visualization.

Questions in Dataviz explores the creative process and philosophical inquiries behind creating impactful data visualisations. From the initial spark of curiosity to the final design choices, this book delves into what makes a visualization not just informative, but memorable and meaningful. Neil Richards shares insights from his extensive experience, challenging readers to think beyond the chart and ask the right questions of their data.

The Blog

The Questions in Dataviz blog is the long-established forerunner to the book, serving as a creative sandbox for years of exploration into visual storytelling. It was here that many of the core philosophies and design principles found in the book were first tested and shared with the community.
