Today I offer up yet another steal-worthy viz called “Flags of Inequality” created by Rita Costa and Beatriz Malveiro. Below is a partial view of the viz. But to have the whole experience and to see why I think it’s so great, click HERE.
The magic in this viz is the way the creators lead you through the meaning of each color. Color legends don’t get much attention in most vizes. But this viz guides you through the legend before showing you any data at all. It works well because, while the pride flag may be familiar to us, the various types of LGBTI equality laws and policies represented by the colors may not be. So the viz first grounds us in the meaning behind the colors so that we can fully appreciate the flags and make comparsions among countries. If you have data with complex or unfamilar categories, starting with the color legend might be a good idea.

Let’s talk about YOUR data!
Got the feeling that you and your colleagues would use your data more effectively if you could see it better? Data Viz for Nonprofits (DVN) can help you get the ball rolling with an interactive data dashboard and beautiful charts, maps, and graphs for your next presentation, report, proposal, or webpage. Through a short-term consultation, we can help you to clarify the questions you want to answer and goals you want to track. DVN then visualizes your data to address those questions and track those goals.
