It contributes to the presentation of a visual narrative that is easier to digest for those who do not have the time to read large chunks of text (think CxOs, busy senior management, or even millennials with a time crunch).\r\n\r\nIn fact, that&#8217;s most of us these days &#8211; a generation that&#8217;s always on the go while also being data-hungry and information-curious. We are frequently inundated with information, whether at work or in our personal lives. The impact could be far greater if this information is presented visually rather than in spreadsheets, reports, or tables. Using best practices to distill the points and present them in a more appealing format can help to simplify comprehension and provide deeper insights.\r\n\r\nAs a result, it&#8217;s no surprise that companies all over the world are considering data visualization as a valuable methodology. In this post, we&#8217;ll show you the top six modern data visualization trends to be aware of, which may help you create charts and graphs for data visualization in the future.

Marketers and graphic designers, however, have an entirely different take on this, using repetition to create lasting impressions. In fact, one of the oft-cited principles of graphic design is the mnemonic CRAP: contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity.\r\n\r\nRepetition, or redundancy, is an important element of visual design, especially when communicating data.\r\n\r\nVisual data relies on cursory or \u2018at-a-glance\u2019 analysis, measured in seconds, not minutes. When you\u2019re communicating visually, there\u2019s no guarantee the audience will actually start at the \u201cbeginning.\u201d It\u2019s important to lead the eye to those key points that need to be communicated quickly and effectively, and a powerful strategy for doing so is the crux of your message in unique ways.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/data-visualization-trends-2018-fusioncharts-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16925\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/data-visualization-trends-2018-fusioncharts-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/data-visualization-trends-2018-fusioncharts-1.jpg 800w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/data-visualization-trends-2018-fusioncharts-1-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n(<em>A dot chart vs. a version with six encodings. Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.displayr.com\/improve-the-quality-of-data-visualizations-using-redundancy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Displayr<\/a><\/em>)\r\n\r\nSome rules of thumb for your redundancy toolkit include spelling out numbers underneath the digits, repeating shapes and colors for those things that must stand out the most, and even copying and pasting the exact same information, such as location, into multiple spaces with different visualizations.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mobile-First_Keep_It_Simple_Silly\"><\/span><b>Mobile-First: Keep It Simple, Silly<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nWhen a business sends an email to its customers, launches a website, or posts shares a post on social media, it essential to check the look-and-feel both on desktop and mobile. We rely on our mobile devices for everything these days, whether it\u2019s a business and personal pursuits task. Therefore, a mobile impression is often the first impression.\r\n\r\nA company\u2019s communication or visual grammar must be as mobile-friendly as possible. That means making it clear, simple, compact, and concise.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/data-visualization-trends-2018-fusioncharts-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16926\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/data-visualization-trends-2018-fusioncharts-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1576\" height=\"972\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/data-visualization-trends-2018-fusioncharts-2.png 1576w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/data-visualization-trends-2018-fusioncharts-2-150x93.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1576px) 100vw, 1576px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n(What\u2019s simpler than the red and green of Google Maps\u2019 traffic data<em>? Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Maps<\/a><\/em>)\r\n\r\nYou don\u2019t have much space to work with, and you must immediately capture the audience\u2019s attention \u2014 and keep it. Data visualizations have to factor this in, for maps, charts, graphs, web pages, presentations, or elsewhere. You have to make the data as engaging as possible, while also streamlining it. The major points must be clear and easy for audiences to understand and digest.\r\n\r\nOf course, this trend also bleeds out of just mobile. Keeping in mind how busy we are, simplicity in visualization is a general the best practice.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Machine_Learning_More_is_More\"><\/span>Machine Learning: More is More<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/visualmatters.com\/understanding-artificial-intelligence-data-visualization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Artificial intelligence<\/a> (AI) and machine learning are now popular technologies for analyzing data and developing visualizations. And with both AI and ML rapidly evolving, this will soon become a mainstream model.\r\n\r\nYour data could come from any number of disparate sources, including internal systems such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) applications, or external sources like the web and streaming data. They have to be integrated, formatted, and customized for a particular user.\r\n\r\nNow, users expect a good mobile experience, spot-on geolocation information, and consistent access to a large amount of data &#8211; often without being aware of the voluminous numbers that actually make those insights. Developers providing anything less risk being left behind in a competitive market.\r\n\r\nHowever, are being by AI can help collect and process these massive amounts of information at rates human beings just can\u2019t match. In fact, AI could even parse and analyze the information for the points most relevant to the user.\r\n\r\nSome AI solutions can express this information visually for you or other audiences. This process is called \u201cvisual analytics,\u201d as it combines the advanced automatic and visual analysis methods of AI, with human interaction to gather insights.\r\n\r\nHere\u2019s a simple use-case: college students doing a report on contemporary American history might find a timeline with visual cues and highlighted texts highlighting key years more useful than endless details about every event that has happened in the past century or so. That\u2019s a benefit for a rushed student &#8211; and also for the graphic designer. (Do you think they have time to painstakingly generate every visual representation of data you see in your search results? Much of this is handled by AI.)\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Virtual_Reality_In_the_Middle_of_the_Data\"><\/span>Virtual Reality: In the Middle of the Data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nAdvances in technology and big data has unlocked new options and capabilities in data visualization. For example, you no longer have to use just a paper map or a simple digital counterpart. Now, more often than not, not only are maps digital, they\u2019re interactive. You can place pins, have GPS automatically pinpoint your location (which you can edit), and define personal preferences such as favorite routes.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wacNaAVGXdU\r\n\r\nThis saves time and provides more opportunities for user interaction. Take virtual and augmented reality as examples. Users are right in the middle of the data and can engage and interact with it in multiple ways.\r\n\r\nImagine a map of your neighborhood with restaurants and businesses marked. With a click, a tap, or even just a twitch of the eye (a la virtual reality helmets), you can conjure reviews, inventories, and menus. Technology capable of presenting contextual data, especially visually, is becoming more sophisticated every day.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accuracy_and_Transparency\"><\/span>Accuracy and Transparency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nStanding out from the competition will require an emphasis on more accurate information. Data can easily be manipulated or misrepresented, leading people to the wrong conclusions. As audiences become more educated and aware, they can easily spot these deceptions. And with the users\u2019 time paramount, it\u2019s hard to forgive an organization for manipulating data and wasting time on corrections.\r\n\r\nNews platforms with more accurate and better-presented information will command, if not bigger, then more at least a more engaged and loyal reader pool. Maps and location services that give better directions and more accurate traffic reports will have more downloads. Weather apps that offer more accurate forecasts will gain more trust. Ultimately it all comes down to the data and how useful it is.\r\n\r\nSimilarly, accurate data visualizations can help businesses maintain an image of transparency. Developing infographics, for instance, that do not over exaggerate or overtly lie about the data is, and will continue to be, a powerful public relations tool.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accessibility_Data_for_All\"><\/span>Accessibility: Data for All<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nConsumption of data begins and ends with our senses. If the viewer is lacking or struggling with anyone, and the data is completely dependent on that mode of communication, the message will be lost.\r\n\r\nThe answer to this is a focus on accessibility.\r\n\r\nAccessibility means making your communications, including data visualizations, available or consumable to the widest cross-section of people. When creating visualizations, designers should consider color palettes that are colorblind-safe, like those provided by ColorBrewer.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/data-visualization-trends-2018-fusioncharts-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16927\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/data-visualization-trends-2018-fusioncharts-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1272\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/data-visualization-trends-2018-fusioncharts-3.png 1999w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/data-visualization-trends-2018-fusioncharts-3-150x95.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\n(<em>Image source: <a href=\"https:\/\/colorbrewer2.org\/#type=sequential&amp;scheme=BuGn&amp;n=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ColorBrewer<\/a><\/em>)\r\n\r\nFor users with a total loss of sight, text-to-speech technology helps interpret visuals. When adding graphics to web pages, this is usually addressed with the &lt;image alt =\u201d\u201d&gt; and &lt;image title =\u201d\u201d&gt; tags.\r\n\r\nFor charts, accessibility-focused web developers traditionally recreate the chart data in a table view that can be interpreted using screen-reading software. But this can be clunky or and might look out of place to sighted users.\r\n\r\nNew <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elsevier.com\/connect\/making-charts-accessible-for-people-with-visual-impairments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">collaborations<\/a> are enabling a more sophisticated systems of descriptive tags for charts and graphs. Not only does this open your business up to a much broader audience, but it also improves search ranking, as websites are ranked based on accessibility.\r\n\r\n<em>Guest Author \u2013 Quincy is part of the team at\u00a0Springboard\u00a0and is passionate about online learning and strong coffee.<\/em>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data visualization can be a powerful tool for communicating critical business information.
