Data Visualization is a way of representing data in a more
appealing yet informative – manner. The main goal of data visualization is to
communicate information effectively through graphical means.
The most common way of doing it is by representing data in
the form of graphs. There are different types of graphs available. You need to use the one that’s
more suited to the kind of data you’re portraying and its context.
The other method that’s gaining popularity of late is networks/maps.
Although this method is more suited for
displaying information from social media, it is a very good and an attractive
way to display the information.
Motion slides is another interesting tool to display information from your analysis. It is somewhat similar to the powerpoint slides, but it makes very good use of graphics to display information in a dynamic manner. It lets you create different instances for different periods of time and thereby lets you display information effectively. One very good example of this is the video below, where Dr. Hans Rosling uses it to putforth his findings.
