This book takes the reader through the process of learning and creating
data visualisation, following a unique journey with questions every step
of the way, ultimately discussing how and when to bend and break the
"rules" to come up with creative, unique, and sometimes unconventional
ideas. Each easy-to-follow chapter poses one key question and provides a
selection of discussion points and relevant data visualisation examples
throughout.
Structured in three parts: Section I poses questions around some
fundamental data visualisation principles, while Section II introduces
more advanced questions, challenging perceived best practices and
suggesting when rules are open to interpretation or there to be broken.
The questions in Section III introduce further themes leading on to
specific ideas and visualisation projects in more detail.

alternative ways to deploy their data visualisation skills outside of
conventional business charts.
