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.
