Visualizing data sets as charts and graphs can do wonders to communicate complex business needs, depict underlying patterns, and make data trends crystal clear. But you need to develop your understanding of the many types of visualization elements that exist—and when and how to use which to be most effective. In this course, join designer and infographics expert Amy Balliett as she takes a deep dive into next-level data visualization strategies with advanced charts and graphs.
Learn how our brains respond to data visualization to inform your selection strategy. Amy covers various types of charts and graphs, offering advice and tips for how to render them effectively to represent distribution, comparison, relationships, and composition. Discover how to use visualizations such as plots, Sankey diagrams, alluvial charts, parallel sets, bullet graphs, radial charts, Coxcomb charts, coordinate plots, chord diagrams, maps, Marimekko charts, streamgraphs, and more.
