What is design-driven data?
Neil Richards · 2022
This chapter introduces design-driven data, inspired by data humanism, a concept coined by the Author, the flipside to data-driven design. It uses an example from an anonymous hotel artwork using pre-conceived design before finding data to populate data visualisation. Design for impact, creativity, fun, not for analytical benefit. Also briefly discusses data art as well as generative art, with design examples including Sesame Street. Note, this contradicts and questions our thinking from Chapter 1.1 .
