  I’m getting back to basics.

  Looking for resources on how to visualize research. Basic tutorials are fine, samples, anything that can help me take an “insight” and convert it into a useful graphic.

  I look around for this but mostly find examples of “beautiful” charts. I don’t need that, I know how to make a chart beautiful. What I need to get better at is building the basic structure of a chart. Which chart to use? How to represent data graphically?

  In grade school I learned when to use a bar or line chart and when to use a pie chart. That’s fine for science class. What I want is more like what you see in the business consulting space.

  Got any good articles or tutorials?

  • From personal experience I would look into the D3 community. It's a tool but seeing all the different uses of it might help you towards what you want.palimpsest
  • i'm assuming you already have the tufte book? https://www.edwardtu…hans_glib
  • Cool thx. Ill take a look. When I say represent “data” what I really mean is how to represent IDEAS.
