The Art of Data Visualization
I thought that this video was very interesting. I have never thought of data advertisements as art until now. Now when I think about the different templates found in Excel, Word or PowerPoint I think of the person who originally designed those templates so that the reader would have an easy time reading the information at a glance, especially, on a PowerPoint document. Even with the different templates, you can see the artists/designers color scheme choices and the different patterns that they felt would best provide the information that was on it. I suppose advertisement art is very similar to political art with an agenda.
