How to design: growth potential of eCommerce? http://forums.flowingdata.com/topic/how-to-design-growth-potential-of-ecommerce#post-1620 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 14:15:15 +0000 heikki 1620@http://forums.flowingdata.com/ I'm trying to find a way to illustrate the growth potential of apparel eCommerce on a single slide. Here's the story: Only 7% of clothes are sold online. In comparison, 50% of computers are sold online. Viewer thinks: "yes, clothing eCommerce is indeed very insignificant" <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7617002@N07/4432961162/" title="Untitled-1 by starryeye1, on Flickr" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2738/4432961162_7b1da6d2b8_m.jpg" width="240" height="162" alt="Untitled-1" /></a> Yet, apparel is eCommerce biggest category, with more sales online than anything else. Viewer thinks: "OMG, there's such a growth potential with apparel eCommerce!" <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7617002@N07/4432186785/" title="Untitled-2 by starryeye1, on Flickr" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2555/4432186785_7b8ca39eb2_m.jpg" width="240" height="162" alt="Untitled-2" /></a> If shown with two slides, the story evolves and has a punchline ("clothing sales are so small" > "clothing sales are enormous and can grow fast"). On a single slide, like Illustration #2 only, the story gets lost, and the growth potential is less obvious. Any suggestions how to design such infographics; or maybe you can just point me to a freelancer who does these kind of designs?

The script reads the BMP file and counts the black pixels/white pixels and expresses the number of black pixels as a percentage of all pixels (black + white).

I am looking for a way of showing the board, during a presentation we make to them, just what this does to our school size in comparison to the other schools in our province. (Yes, at the moment it's in PowerPoint.) I've been looking for ways of simply representing this, while at the same time showing the number of schools and the relative positive with some accuracy. So help me, the cyan thing and magenta thing from Data Underload #9 seems to be the best idea as yet! However, I do want to check to see if anyone else has some great ideas or examples. Sample slides at the moment: Our school Now Currently have 315 students, in English and French This makes us 359th in size in the province – 35% of schools are larger with 6s and 7s back In 2010/11, with return of grade 6s and 7s and projected kindergarten numbers, we would have 421 students, in English and French This makes us 163rd in size in the province – 16% of schools are larger Take away French Let’s now take away our French students – we have 273 left, English only This makes us 461st in size in the province – 45% of schools are larger Add School A If we add School A’s projected 2010/11 with 6s and 7s, we would have 470 students, English only This makes us 93rd in size in the province – 9% of schools are larger Add School B If we then add School B's projected 2010/11 with 6s and 7s, we would have 561 students, English only This makes us 30th in size in the province – 3% of schools are larger Assume 50% of French students transfer to English A number of French students would not be travelling out of our area to go to school, for various reasons. If we assume 50% of these students would transfer to English track, we would have 635 students, English only This makes us 6th in size in the province – 0.5% of schools are larger Non-ASCII characters in all the entries got corrupted http://forums.flowingdata.com/topic/non-ascii-characters-in-all-the-entries-got-corrupted#post-1568 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 07:23:09 +0000 urbansheep 1568@http://forums.flowingdata.com/ Hi, I am posting to twitter and YFD in cyrillics and while YFD had no problem with that for a while, recently (at some moment in the last week) all of my non-ASCII characters in the YFD entries got corrupted. From what I can see, it looks like unicode/double-byte characters got “over-unicoded” (i.e. when some layer of software that previously didn't specifically care about unicode at some moment forcingly encodes all that it had in the storage into double-byte form, without regard to what was the original content encoding in the first place). Why I blame storage: - My test entry with cyrillics went through native YFD input form fine just now. - My direct message from Twitter went intact as well. I'll be glad to answer any questions and test any solutions if there's any chance to recover lost data. So far I stopped adding any data points so that I wouldn't lose it in case database is rolled back.

+0000 vonmuehlen 1574@http://forums.flowingdata.com/ Company: EnergyHub Job Title: Data Visualization Guru Location: New York, NY Description: Based in New York City, EnergyHub is a well-funded and well-positioned startup in an exciting new market. We are the Consumer Face of the Smart Grid, serving to help consumers reduce household energy consumption and save money. We are a growing team of engineers, developers, and designers who produce smart, simple, and cost-effective energy management tools–including stand-alone consumer electronics as well as web-based and mobile software applications. We are presently seeking a talented data visualization designer to enhance our data-driven user interfaces with beautiful, engaging, and informative content to help people better understand their energy use. The right candidate will know the difference between a kilowatt and a kWh and be able to make that kind of data meaningful and actionable to the average homeowner. You are probably familiar with the work of Richard Thaler and Cass Susstein and think a certain "minty" financial website is kind of awesome. The candidate will create live information graphics for thousands of individual users updating in real time, as well as automatically generated reports based on historical data. Both will be displayed across multiple digital platforms (embedded, web, mobile) delivered to the individual users to allow them to make better informed choices about their energy use. User testing and feedback from the design and software development process will inform your designs. You will be responsible for developing your ideas from early sketches to working prototypes ready for testing, and for working with the development team to fully implement successful designs. You should be able to write much of your own code. Depending on the candidate’s background and skill set, there will be plenty of opportunity to lend your expertise to a range of other design and development efforts at EnergyHub. Qualifications and Skills: · Broad knowledge and advanced skills in systematic visual design, information architecture, user interface, and a solid understanding of user-centered design principles · Strong visual design skills with a fanatical attention to detail · Able to produce results independently as well as collaboratively in a team environment · Must be highly motivated, detail-oriented, and organized · Expertise with all major graphic design and wireframing application suites required (e.g. Photoshop, InDesign, Balsamiq, etc.) · Programming experience and creation of interactive prototypes essential · RIA / UI / Widget Development, Web 2.0 Related Technologies (Flex 3, Processing, R, JavaScript/AJAX/JQuery/CSS), Framework/API Design, Information Architecture, User Experience, Usability · BA or MA in Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, or equivalent. 4+ years of relevant experience If interested, please email your resume with a cover letter to <a href="mailto:jobs@energyhub.net" rel="nofollow">jobs@energyhub.net</a>
