Wrapping Up
In short, start with a question, investigate your data with a critical eye, and figure out the purpose of your graphics and who they’re for. This will help you design a clear graphic that’s worth people’s time—no matter what kind of graphic it is.
You learn how to do this in the following chapters. You learn how to handle and visualize data. You learn how to design graphics from start to finish. You then apply what you learn to your own data. Figure out what story you want to tell and design accordingly.
