Why your audience loves data visualization?
Graphs, Charts, Images and even videos
A visual summary of information makes it easier to identify patterns and trends
than looking through thousands of rows on a spreadsheet.
Processing
Human can distinguish difference in line, length, shape, orientation
and colour{hue} readily without processing effort.

How to use Data Visualization to win over your audience?
Raw Data
STEP 1 : Identify messagesof the visualization,and generatethe mostinformative
indicator.
Consider a different hypothetical dataset of publication
details of a particular institution shown in the Table.
STEP 2 : Choosethe right charttype.
STEP 3: Use color,size, scale,shapesand labels to direct attentionto the key messages.
We can plot the relative activity index in a
radar plot for comparison, with the
attention focused on the subjects
We represent the volume of articles
published by the area of pie slices and the
relative activity index by the radius length.
We can guide our readers by
including the reference value of
1.0 (represented by red dotted
circle).
Spie chart with the color of the
pie slices indicating article
volume (light=high volume).
ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR BETTER DATA VISUALIZATION.
• Don’t over explain.
• Don’t use distracting fonts or
elements.
• Make sure there is sufficient contrast
between colors.
• Avoid patterns.
• Order data intuitively.
• Craft a strong story.
• Apply design fundamentals.
• Don’t over label.
