Over the next week you will create one poster every day. Each day, find a single number from a different subject area that interests you and spend your time thinking about how the scale of that value could be communicated formally. Create a visual representation using one of the seven…
A boxplot, or a box-and-whisker-plot, is a graph that indicates the variability or the dispersion of the data, graphically depicting groups of numerical data through their quartiles. It can tell you about your outliers and what their values are. It can also tell you if your data is symmetrical, how…
hello ! liner parallel coordinates Linear parallel coordinates are used for multidimensional data. Each element has a specific value on each individual dimension. radial parallel coordinatesradial parallel coordinatesRadial parallel coordinates are similar to linear parallel coordinates. Here, the dots representing values are linked together to form a shape. Usually it…
Chernoff faces showcase multivariate data in a symbol of a human face. Every facial feature represents values of the variables by its shape, size, orientation, and placement. The concept behind using faces is that humans are good at recognizing faces and notice subtle changes or differences. Variables should be carefully…
Hello!…
Scatter plots use points of dots that represent two different numerical variables in a 2d chart, but can be graphed in a 3d plain as well. The first variable is indepentend while the second value is dependant on the first. Scatter plots allow one to observe the correlation between the…
Rubber sheets are a type of data visualization chart that functions similar to a heat map but uses colored, three dimensional surfaces to map four or more dimensions. Rubber sheets represent values such as depth, altitude while encouraging comparison of heights, general landscape, etc. However, due to the visualization type,…
Tree is a type of data visualization that shows hierarchical data. Typically, the graphs starts with one main branch and expands out to datas pre-organized in the sub categories. The graph a type of tree graphs where we can see several branches would connect back to themselves. Tree and graph…
3 Good examples: (Wall Street Journal) Winners and Losers: Job Gains and Losses Track the number of sectors gaining or losing jobs each month. Boxes are shaded based on percentage change from the previous month in each sector's payrolls.Precise color palette that display the information clearly at the first…
Describe your chosen visualization type in terms of the kinds of values it represents (e.g., fractions, integers, percentages, etc.) and the sorts of comparisons it enables or discourages.A line graph uses lines to connect data points that show quantitative values over a specified period (these are almost always…
Physical MapsVisual objects such as bars and lines do not translate well on maps. While easily understandable set alone, when transferred to geographical locations, there are simply too small and two many sections to visibly distinguish data in such a manner. For physical maps, the best way to display quantitative…
Treemaps are commonly found on data dashboards. Designers often choose them to add visual variety on a dense dashboard. However, treemaps are a complex visualization and present many obstacles to quick comprehension (which is the main requirement for any information displayed on a dashboard). Creating a tree map involves choosing…
A dendrogram is a network structure. It is constituted of a root node that gives birth to several nodes connected by edges or branches. The last nodes of the hierarchy are called leaves. Two type of dendrogram exist, resulting from 2 types of dataset: 1- A hierarchic dataset provides the…

This is a collective research project providing examples and discussion of the basic building blocks of visual data representation. In his Ph.D. dissertation, information designer Ben Fry assembled a taxonomy of standard visualization types. Look over his list and choose one to research more thoroughly. Sign up for your…

Charts and graphs have an indisputable aura of objectivity and yet, much like statistics, they have an immense power to either elucidate or mislead. What does it mean for an information graphic to be ‘honest’ with its data? And how can we as designers (and citizens) know when a representation…
