Information Dashboard Design

This is a great practical book to help create simple, easy to understand dashboards for data presentation. A lot is common sense but only after you have seen it 1st. I now look at all those car dashboard type displays and sigh - knowing that the authors could have made them so much clearer if only they had bought this book.

I love this book - bullet graphs are excellent graphical information carriers, given the space they take up. Looking forward to using the infoin this book to refine our dashboards. Also advocated by Stacey Barr, another one of my favourite performance measurement experts.

For anybody that wants to learn the basics about presentation of data!

i've been using stephen few books for years and owe a lot of my design ideas at work down to it. would highly recommend.

Excellent - I knew that this was required reading fro anyone just beginning in Dashboard design and that has proven to be the case.

The information in this book is reasonably useful, however the illustrations are utterly poor - too low resolution. For a book that focuses on these very interfaces, it's a big con.

An excellent guideline book for creating Information Dashboards.

Must have reference book if you would like to enhance your communication to the next level. Some of the visualization concepts presented in this book will make you to take a step back and challenge the conventional wisdom of preparing a cookie cutter Dash board or a presentation. One of the expensive books in my library but worth every penny. Stephen Few, you have got a new fan and a "Promoter" at the perceptual edge :-). Looking fwd to attend one of your workshops on visualization.

Un des meilleurs livres sur la visualisation de données que je eu l’occasion de lire. Beaucoup d’exemples de Dashboard qui ne fonctionnent pas (ou qui fonctionnent) en terme de présentation des données avec à chaque fois, les commentaires avisés de l’auteur. Par ailleurs, le livre est de très bonne qualité, ce qui n’enlève rien au plaisir de lecture.

La qualità di stampa di questo libro è pari a quella dei contenuti. Oltre a essere un testo di riferimento nel settore, la cura nel dettagli (grammatura carta, qualità di stampa, rilegatura) fa di questo libro qualcosa che è difficile rimpiazzare con un eBook.

O livro aborda o assunto de forma muito clara e completa. Possui dezenas de bons e maus exemplos coloridos. Ótima referência para criação de visualização de dados.

This book is very well written. The full color illustrations depict most or all important concepts described in the book. Stephen Few has done a great job describing human psychology, modes of perception, and offers solid design advice.
