Picking your visualization should be after you look at your data. You decide what you want to show.

​

Charts go with specific types of data relationships.

20 of 45

21 of 45

You use correlation charts when you are trying to say what is related to another

22 of 45

When you are comparing the part to whole relationship or ranking you use these charts.

23 of 45

When you want to show data over time relationships you use these charts

24 of 45

When you want to show the way the data is spread out, you use these types of charts

Let’s Summarize things you can add to visualization to make them contain more information?

​

Color

Size

Length

Shape

PEOPLE STANDING NEAR ME…….

​

​

THE TIME IT TOOK TO GO TO MY LOCKER……

Notice the color change, what could that mean?
