📘 Lesson Title: Creating Visualizations

🎨 Why Visualizations Matter

 Visualizations simplify complex, raw data, revealing hidden


trends, patterns, and correlations that are hard to detect in text or
tables.

 The example of Anscombe’s Quartet demonstrates how datasets can


appear statistically identical yet be vastly different when plotted
visually highlighting the critical role of visualization in data
analysis.

🧱 Key Elements of Effective Visualizations

1. Title: Descriptive and sets the context for the viewer.

2. Axes (X and Y): Provide structure and show relationships between


variables.

3. Legend: Clarifies the meaning of colors, shapes, or other visual


encodings.

4. Labels: Offer additional context and improve interpretability.

5. Visual Attributes: Use color, size, shape, and texture to represent


data points meaningfully.

📊 Common Types of Visualizations

 Bar Charts: Ideal for comparing categorical data.

 Line Charts: Best for showing trends over time.

 Scatter Plots: Used to examine relationships between two


numerical variables.

🔧 Visualization Best Practices

 Keep visuals clean, uncluttered, and audience appropriate.

 Match the visualization type to the data and the insight you want
to convey.

 Ensure accuracy and clarity to avoid misinterpretation.

Visualization Tools to Learn

 Tableau
 Power BI

 Spreadsheets

 Python

✅ Visualization is both a technical and creative skill. As with any skill, it


improves with intentional practice.
