Graphic Visualization: Telling Complex Stories through Simple Images

Description

In this course, you will learn:

• You'll investigate how people's brains process information. After that, you'll learn some basic design and alignment ideas.
• Constant exposure to visual languages has improved our understanding of them, but it has made it more difficult to speak successfully.
• Learn about the various types of graphs and diagrams that are typically used to depict data to tackle this problem.
• Learn how to create a visualization by following three simple steps: sketching, prototyping, and polishing.
• By the end of the course, you'll know how to use your designs in other creative tasks.
