Event information

Have you ever wondered how the London tube map works as a globally recognisable and internationally emulated communication design classic?

In this webinar we explore the reasons that make the tube map one of the most effective data visualisation designs of all times, and simultaneously one we take for granted. Andy Kirk will work through the multitude of different features demonstrated by the tube map to draw out best practice applications relevant to any other visualisation challenge you might work on.

Join our webinar to discover the full potential of data visualisation and how to apply these lessons to your work.

Key points

• Why the London tube map is not really just about London, nor technically a map
• How can you represent such depth and complexity of data in a single view
• The challenges of creating an accessible solution to a diverse profile of audiences
• Caring about the little details to make every design choice work
• Recognising the need to evolve but stay within scope of purpose

We would like to give you the opportunity to join this interactive webinar where your questions are welcome.

If you would like more in-depth knowledge on data visualisation, watch our pre-recorded webinar: The 7 hats of data visualisation for an additional snapshot on this ever-increasingly important subject matter.

You can also hear Andy taking questions from the community on data visulisation techniques on his live Q&A earlier this year.
