In David McCanless Ted Talk he says graphs are a way to “Combine the language of the eye and the language of the mind, you start to speak in 2 languages simultaneously. Each enhancing the other”. Before watching both videos I probably would have had a very simple response and understanding of this idea of merging both of these thought processes. I now have a layered understanding on being creative with the data you find and combining it an effective visuals that are dependent on the concept, data, and analysis being displayed. All people have different thought processes, I think the visuals of graphs target a new audience of people who can now better understand new information. Also pretty cool that art can be incorporated into data.
