My tip for this week is to check out the Information is Beautiful (IIB) Awards’ longlist of nominees for 2024. IMO, there are some great ones here but also some beautiful-yet-confusing ones. Take a look at the 2024 vizzes in the Humanitarian longlist. I found the following three particularly inspiring. Click on the images below for more information.
Great way to provide context
The circles help us to understand the dramatic reduction in deaths due to natural disasters in the 21st century, particularly in areas harder-hit by disasters in the past, such as Asia. Of course, most of the 21st century is ahead of us, so the size of the circles will change over time.
Helpful Color Coding
This data dashboard uses consistent color coding across charts with cool tones indicating type of incident and warm tones indicating gender.
Effective Chart Type
Each circle in this beeswarm chart represents one of more than 13,000 incidents where at least one migrant died or went missing. The circle's size indicates the number of people affected. It provides a sobering understanding of the magnitude of the problem over time and across regions.
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.
