The Digital Visualization Bundle

Visualization.ids takes complex ideas and makes them accessible, both in terms of their visual clarity and their availability in the networked public sphere. This bundle gives you the skills to digitally visualize any idea, whether it’s driven by data, research, narrative, or performance. Take a sociological concept like epigenetics, which is pretty difficult to understand. But when you deliver the information visually, with cool animation and a memorable performance and story, then epigenetics becomes more understandable. Or take national data that links economic and social trends with students’ college career choices. This interactive visualization helps us navigate the many different categories that come into play, and allows us to interactively make sense of these very complicated social trends. For visualization.ids, information + digital media is beautiful.
