Tip of the Iceberg

I think many approaches to psychotherapy are about revealing what lies under the surface, so lets carry on in that tradition… when you think about presenting your data, don’t ignore all the fields of study you are building on – the presentation is just the tip of the iceberg.

Cartography, graphic design, statistics, color theory – you will leverage pieces from all these domains to build your creative data presentations.  Each of these is a discipline on its own, so don’t expect yourself to be in an expert in them all.  Just remember to appreciate all the topics that lie under the surface. Acknowledging them can be helpful when you’re frustrated, because it will remind you that there is a reason this stuff is hard!
