Wilke teaches you the elements most critical to successful data visualization.
- Explore the basic concepts of color as a tool to highlight, distinguish, or represent a value
- Understand the importance of redundant coding to ensure you provide key information in multiple ways
- Use the book’s visualizations directory, a graphical guide to commonly used types of data visualizations
