Data Visualisation: A Handbook for Data Driven Design

Write a Discussion on topic :

As noted by Kirk (2016), angle, framing, and focus are useful perspectives that help to shape your editorial thinking.

Select 1 of these perspectives and mention why you selected it.

Remember your initial post on the main topic should be posted by Wednesday 11:59 PM (EST). Your 2 following posts should be commenting on your classmates’ post on different days by Sunday 11:59 PM (EST). You should end the week with 3 total discussion posts.

A quality post is more than stating, “I agree with you.” Maybe you should state why you agree with your classmate’s post. Additionally, post some examples or find a related topic on the internet or University’s library and comment on it in the discussion post.

I would like to discuss about Framing from perspectives that help to shape your editorial thinking.While endeavoring to elucidate thinking behind data visualization, Andy Kirk Compares data Visualization to photography. In Data visualization this can be related to what is being evaluated and by which estimations it is isolated. Example an analyst may choose to display sales over a period of time. This is selected based on what is considered to be relevant and sufficient to convey the analysis.The need to judge based on what the audience might to looking for in a data analysis is key.This along with what us considered  relevant from the presenters context helps in narrowing down one key angle which can best explain the analysis to the audience. Here the one who is presenting is in control and can decide which angles in sufficient and also filter out the angle that is not relevant to the context of the analysis.

There are few constructs that are as ubiquitous across traditions of management and organizational research, and indeed the social sciences more generally, as that of frame or framing. The widespread popularity and use of the concept has led to rich streams of research, ranging from work in managerial cognition and decision-making to strategic and organizational change, and social movements and institutions. At the same time, the popularity of framing across these literatures has perhaps also come at a price. Indeed, it has meant that these streams of research have essentially developed along separate paths, despite the prospect and promise of a greater connection between them. In this paper, our general aim is to consolidate and advance the current body of research on framing in the management and organizational literature. We do this by providing an extensive review of the key research traditions on framing across this literature, noting the salient contributions to date and highlighting potential areas for further theoretical development and research. Building on this review, we also elaborate on connections across traditions of research; we hope these will serve as pointers to instigate further research on framing processes across different levels of analysis

I think focus is important perspective among three that helps to shape editorial thinking, but we cannot undermine the importance of other two perspectives. We need focus to think, write, and edit an editorial piece to bring our editors intentions. Focus helps to ensure attention is given to what an editor wants communicate. One of the key aspects which makes focus an important perspective of editioral thinking is that it helps to create ideas for editiorial content. With focus ideas keeps flowing and after the ideas are born they are analyzed, prioritized and then they are utilized.

Focus also helps in maintain quality content. Focused editiors are easily able to thoroughly edit their work, giving value to its content. According to (Kirk, 2016) focused editing ensures accuracy of meaning, facts and appropriate formatting of content.
