Effective Data Visualization: Transform Information into Art

“

Congrats! You have reached the end of the course. I hope you now feel as excited as I am with DataViz and data-art projects, and this project may be just the beginning for you! Before saying goodbye, I'd like to do a quick summary of the steps you'll need to take to face your Final Project. First of all, search for a subject that personally interests you and look for inspiration. Then, manually harvest the information you want to visualize (mark, note and count), look for additional information, and collect the data in tables in Excel or a similar program. Create ideas and look for what graphs you can use; start sketching on shapes and layout. Bring everything you found onto the canvas and design the global look and the individual elements. Finally, check your design by getting feedback and when the last edits are done, print the data illustration poster and share your work online. And that's all from me. Remember, I'll be on the forum giving you feedback. Also, I recommend you engage in conversation with your peers, comment on their works and ask for their observations; listening to others is a great way to improve your work. See you there! ”
