3:17 COMPARE
5:43 CHANGE
7:19 ORGANIZE
8:42 REVEAL RELATIONSHIPS
9:35 EXPLORE
Let’s talk about when we would use each one.
- Use INFORM if you have a data point or key message that you want to hit your readers over the head with, or important information that you absolutely want them to know and remember.
- Use COMPARE if you want to show similarities or differences between things.
- Use CHANGE if you want to show trends over time and space.
- Use ORGANIZE if you want to show groups, patterns, rank or order.
- Use REVEAL RELATIONSHIPS if you want to show correlations among variables or values.
- Use EXPLORE if the goal of your chart is to allow your audience to explore the data and drill down on different aspects.
