Pressestimmen
"Geschrieben in einer unterhaltsamen wie informativen Art und Weise, lassen sich schnell die wichtigsten Hebel für gute Datenaufbereitung und Visualisierung erlernen." - ZfCM - Zeitschrift für Controlling & Management, 2/2011
Kurzbeschreibung
Dashboards have become popular in recent years as uniquely powerful tools for communicating important information at a glance. Although dashboards are potentially powerful, this potential is rarely realized. The greatest display technology in the world won't solve this if you fail to use effective visual design. And if a dashboard fails to tell you precisely what you need to know in an instant, you'll never use it, even if it's filled with cute gauges, meters, and traffic lights. Don't let your investment in dashboard technology go to waste. This book will teach you the visual design skills you need to create dashboards that communicate clearly, rapidly, and compellingly. Information Dashboard Design will explain how to: * Avoid the thirteen mistakes common to dashboard design * Provide viewers with the information they need quickly and clearly * Apply what we now know about visual perception to the visual presentation of information * Minimize distractions, cliches, and unnecessary embellishments that create confusion * Organize business information to support meaning and usability * Create an aesthetically pleasing viewing experience * Maintain consistency of design to provide accurate interpretation * Optimize the power of dashboard technology by pairing it with visual effectiveness Stephen Few has over 20 years of experience as an IT innovator, consultant, and educator. As Principal of the consultancy Perceptual Edge, Stephen focuses on data visualization for analyzing and communicating quantitative business information. He provides consulting and training services, speaks frequently at conferences, and teaches in the MBA program at the University of California in Berkeley. He is also the author of Show Me the Numbers: Designing Tables and Graphs to Enlighten. Visit his website at www.perceptualedge.com.

Format:Taschenbuch
Das Buch eigent sich um schnell einen Überblick über Design-Konzepte von Diagrammen und Tabellen, speziell im Dashboard-Umfeld zu erhalten. Es ist eine Quasi-Zusammenfassung von Theorien, die auch bereits Edward Tufte aufgestellt hat sowie Studienergebnissen. Dabei ist das Buch einfach zu lesen, der Autor in seiner Formulierung aber teilweise zu verurteilend und selbstverherrlichend. Mit den Abbildungen erhält man schnell Anregungen zum Thema gutes/schlechtes Design von Zahlen.

Format:Taschenbuch
Stephen Few hat ein kompaktes, gut lesbares Buch zur Visualisierung von Daten und insbesondere zur Gestaltung von Information Dashboards verfasst.
Few schildert anschaulich, welche Fehler gewöhnlich bei der Gestaltung von Dashboards anzutreffen sind. Dabei unterzieht er Information Dashboard-Lösungen von Software-Anbietern einer detaillierten, manchmal leicht polemischen Kritik.
Anschließend geht Few auf die Grundlagen der visuellen Wahrnehmung ein. Darauf aufbauend zeigt er, wie diese Prinzipien für die Gestaltung von Dashboards nutzbar gemacht werden können.
Den Abschluss des Buches bilden Dashboard-Entwicklungen, die im Rahmen eines Wettbewerbs eingereicht wurden, bei dem Few als Jury-Mitglied fungierte. Alle Entwicklungen können den Ansprüchen des Jurors nicht genügen. Folgerichtig präsentiert er seine eigenen Entwicklungen als Vorbild. Der Kontrast zu den eingereichten Entwürfen ist augenfällig. Es lohnt sich demnach, die Grundlagen und Prinzipien einer optimalen Dashboard-Entwicklung zu beherzigen. Few zeigt, wie es geht.

Have some good ideas, but could be shorter with no loss of content.

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
After reading this book I have the following positive points to make:
.. It is very well designed, it is nice to look at it.
.. Has some good ideas (but they are not original ones).
.. In general, following its advice you will be able to do a better design of dashboards and management information systems screens.
If I counted only this I would give it 5 stars, but, I think this book has some negative points. One of the points makes the author inconsistent with his own recommendations throughout the book.
The book is about designing dashboards and the major line of thought is:
- keep it simple, clean and objective.
- Use the tools (graphics and tables) in a rational way.
- don't use all the fancy features that software vendors put in their products for they will make your dashboard less effective.
But the author when writing it, forgot part of his own teachings and produced a text that is very prolixic, too many words to explain simple concepts and ideas. Lacks objectivity.
So, if you want to better understand the use of graphs, take a look at Naomi Robbins, "Creating More Effective Graphs". This book is very objective, simple and fast to read.
The second flaw is that in the examples to show how to do a well designed dashboard, the author used two types of graphs that are not available in today's softwares. One type of graph was created by the author while writing this book (bullet graphs) and the other (sparkline) is the creation of Mr.Tufte, which will appear in a future book of his. It would be more useful to see examples with the typical tools available to design a dashboard.
So, be prepared for a nice experience with pictures and graphs in a sea of words. It is an excellent book that will help design dashboards and the like. (So far is the best book on this topic).

Its all about the dashboard...
16. Februar 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
I am currently working (as a software developer) on building a platform which incorporates a dashboard, so this book caught my attention. I learned a lot more than I ever really wanted to know about dashboard design aesthetics, visual perception and color theory; but if you're looking for a one-stop-shop detailing dashboard design, this is the book.
From the perspective of a software developer, I found the chapter "Thirteen Common Mistakes in Dashboard Design" quite useful. It discusses (obviously) thirteen "no-nos" when designing a dashboard. It has plenty of pictures illustrating the mistakes and describing helpful alternatives. The book is quick to read, the examples and critiques are explained well and easy to follow.
Not having a design background, I don't feel qualified to comment on the content other than to say it all made sense to me. :) I did, however, loan the book to one of our in-house design guys - he said it was "pretty good" and would recommend it.
If you're directly involved in building or designing a dashboard, this book is nice because it's all about dashboards - rather than a design book with just a chapter or two on dashboards.

Beautiful book with plenty of design insight (and examples)...

One of the system architecture ideas that has waxed and waned over the years is the concept of an Information Dashboard... a single screen of data that summarizes key data points for quick monitoring by executives. But just throwing a few graphs on the web page isn't necessarily the right thing to do. Stephen Few covers the subject of dashboard design in his book Information Dashboard Design : The Effective Visual Communication of Data.
Contents: Clarifying the Vision; Variations in Dashboard Uses and Data; Thirteen Common Mistakes in Dashboard Design; Tapping Into the Power of Visual Perception; Eloquence Through Simplicity; Effective Dashboard Display Media; Designing Dashboards for Usability; Putting it All Together; Appendix; Index
For someone like me (not a whiz when it comes to graphic design) to really like a book of this nature is saying something. I actually understood everything he was writing, and I didn't think this was some self-serving "listen to me because I'm an expert" volume. The book is printed on heavy paper stock and full color, so the examples don't lose any impact in the normal translation to black and white. Lavishly illustrated with examples both good and bad, it's easy to see why some things work and some don't. Even designs that I thought "looked" professional had significant drawbacks. For instance, colors should represent the same thing throughout the page. Don't make a pie chart with a red slice if you want red to represent a danger indicator somewhere else on the screen. Minimize the non-data pixels so the eyes don't have to work at interpreting data from "fluff" (like graph lines). And when you're choosing graphing formats, make sure you choose ones which are relevant to the data being displayed. Don't choose a pie chart when a bar graph makes an easier comparison. He even goes into color choices and how they cause the mind and eye to group things on the page. Normally I'd be reading material like this with a "says you!" attitude, but there wasn't a single instance where I thought he was pushing his own preferences instead of something that actually made sense and had some research behind it. I actually found myself thinking about some of my own application designs based on the material presented, as well as how I need to change a few things along the way.
If you're not a graphically oriented person (like I'm not), this book is a lifesaver for your design and development efforts. It should remain close at hand as you do your web site design on a daily basis. And even if you *do* know what you're doing, you will likely become a whole lot better at it after reading Information Dashboard Design.
