Infographics / Data Visualization

Discipline
Written By Marc O'Brien

The visual presentation of data or information. The goal of data visualization is to communicate data or information clearly and effectively to readers.

 

Project ideas to get you started

  1. Visualize the comparison of solar use/installation across 8-10 countries

  2. Compare tree coverage between neighborhoods and highlight the consequences this has on the people living in those areas

  3. Create a digital billboard showing the sources of energy in your city and CO2 emissions from those sources

  4. Create a visualization of the carbon footprint of your breakfast

Consider the following;

  1. Ensure your data is coming from a reliable, valid source (See below)

  2. Come up with a compelling call to action so that people can take what they’ve learned and do something about it
