VISUALIZATION
PART 1 (1st to 10th visual)1 dataset 100 visualizations
Can we come up with 100 visualizations from one simple
dataset?
As an information design agency working with data
visualization every day, we challenged ourselves to
accomplish this using insightful and visually appealing
visualizations.
We wanted to show the diversity and complexity of data
visualization and how we can tell different stories using
limited visual properties and assets.

For the challenge we chose a very simple dateset — although complex enough for
interpretation. The dataset includes multiple statistical aspects such as comparison,
development, distribution, etc. The dataset compares the numbers of UNESCO
World Heritage Sites in Scandinavia in 2004 and 2022.

above each lollipop, and the axis is omitted as ic is noc needed. An advantage for chis visualization is the zbilicy

Clusters of hexagons indicating the absolute oumber of World Heritage sites for each country. As the hexagons
are placed in random clusters, che accurate number is not easy co read without counting manuzlly. So the
