Learn to interpret, create, and transform data into an attractive visual graph that communicates your message
If you want your designs to truly make an impact, you need to understand the information behind the data. That’s the theory according to designer and data visualization expert Diana Estefanía Rubio. For her, a designer’s job is to understand and interpret the numbers so they can convey their message through engaging graphs.
In this course, learn how to transform your data into powerful designs that speak for themselves. Follow Diana’s step-by-step process to create a data visualization graphic that you can submit to a publishing company and also share on your social media. By the end of this course, you’ll have all the tools to read, analyze, and transform data into an eye-catching graph.
Start by getting to know your teacher Diana Estefanía Rubio. She tells you about her background and professional experience in data visualization. She also talks about her different sources of inspiration ranging from designers to publications and gives you an overview of the course content.
Then, jump into the theory and study the definition of data visualization, its primary objective, and key components. Get familiar with the visual tools used for graph design and learn how to interpret numbers correctly.
Begin working on your final project by analyzing data and using them to create a rough draft of your design. Next, open up Illustrator and explore the main graph types and other features the program has to offer.
Switch gears in the last unit and focus on the aesthetics of your design. Experiment with typographies until you find the right one, try out different colors, and learn how to put the finishing touches on your graph by adding textures in Photoshop. Lastly, explore different avenues for publishing your work.
