In fact, data visualization in a graphic form is the very equivalent of visual communication nowadays.<\/p>\n<p>As visual beings, we process visuals 60 000 times faster than a text. Furthermore, 90% of the information that is transmitted in our brains is, you guessed it, also visual. With that being said, the <strong>images have always been the preferred method for data communication<\/strong> and learning. From the creation of the first maps and the first illustrated scientific works to the beautifully designed Infographics, we have nowadays.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in this video you can see how much easier is to <strong>process an enormous amount of data<\/strong> about 200 countries for the last 200 years in only 4 minutes thanks to data visualization done right.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe style=\"display: block; margin: 0 auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jbkSRLYSojo?showinfo=0\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCCj956IF62FbT7Gouszaj9w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BBC<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Depending on our purpose, the data communication can be sorted in two processes.<\/p>\n<p>The first process is the <strong>collecting and analyzing information<\/strong> in order to see patterns, trends, and correlations. This will clarify the concepts, reinforce our understanding of the data. This is of extreme importance to companies when it comes to marketing research and decision making. Of course, this process requires skills and knowledge on a deeper level, so companies need to hire professionals to do it.<\/p>\n<p>The second process to <strong>take all that data and present it before the masses<\/strong>. Whether you have to present information to your students, clients, audience, business partners or investors, you need to\u00a0make your efforts count and turn all this data into something understandable, memorable and cool to look at.<\/p>\n<p>To summarize your purpose in one sentence- <strong>you need to make your data interesting and easy to digest<\/strong>. The more systemized and comprehensive your data is structured, the more efficient your analysis becomes to your audience.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s begin.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing to do is<strong> choose the appropriate chart type<\/strong> that will suit your data best. Certain types of data will show the relationship between the different elements much better than others. The Data catalogs feature numerous types of charts, graphs, diagrams and plots by features. The truth is you need to know the fewer common ones and simply get creative with them.<\/p>\n<p>Said common data charts type are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Line Chart\/Area Chart: they express changes in metric across stages or time.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11148\" src=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/28103028\/line-chart-area-chart.jpg\" alt=\"line chart area chart\" width=\"3045\" height=\"867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/28103028\/line-chart-area-chart.jpg 3045w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/28103028\/line-chart-area-chart-300x85.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/28103028\/line-chart-area-chart-768x219.jpg 768w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/28103028\/line-chart-area-chart-1024x292.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3045px) 100vw, 3045px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Scatter Chart\/ Bubble Chart: they express trends between two metrics as well as changes in proportions via the size of the bubbles.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11149\" src=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/28104452\/scatter-chart-bubble-chart.jpg\" alt=\"scatter chart bubble chart\" width=\"3045\" height=\"885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/28104452\/scatter-chart-bubble-chart.jpg 3045w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/28104452\/scatter-chart-bubble-chart-300x87.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/28104452\/scatter-chart-bubble-chart-768x223.jpg 768w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/28104452\/scatter-chart-bubble-chart-1024x298.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3045px) 100vw, 3045px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bar Chart: they express comparison between different categories of data via horizontal and vertical columns.
