This is the obvious answer I guess... but Edward Tufte is probably the
best in the data visualization design area... here's his official

For many of the projects mentioned in this page you can download the
software and datasets and get a first-hand experience with many
visualisation methods.
Good luck,

First, recognize that the ‘right’ requirements
are in principle unknowable by users, customers
and designers at the start.
Devise the design process, and the formal
agreement between designers and customers and users,
to be sensitive to what is learnt by any of the
parties as the design evolves.
Their goal is "to democratize visualization and to enable a new
social kind of data analysis." Anyone can upload data, choose a few
options and generate a visualization that's then open to the public.
Thanks guys for all the links. I know it was a broad question but you have
returned some real useful stuff for me.
Thanks again

We use "R" to develop prototype statistical visualizations. I'm amazed
at the number of libraries available. If you have supporting data and
can imagine it should appear, you can do it in "r".
It's much easier for an artist or designer to use than "r" and people
are adding libraries all the time increasing its capabilities.
Processing also has hardware and mobile computing initiatives.

You may want to take a look at the work done by Ben Shneiderman (one of the
pioneers in this field) and the HCI Lab in the University of Maryland:

For many of the projects mentioned in this page you can download the

Dan,
A resource that I don't think was mentioned is a new O'Reilly book,
Visualizing Data. A prepublication version is available at
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596515935/#top
I haven't looked at it, but O'Reilly books are often quite good. I'd
be interested to hear reactions from anyone who's used it.
