1 DATASET 100 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. Number of World Heritage Sites Norway Denmark Sweden 2004 5 4 8 2022 8 10 15 Simple yet functional 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. World Heritage Sites 2004 2022 Norway 6 e Denmark a 10 sweden 18 15 pepe unseaome yy From the datasct we deduced the cotal, average. perceptual change and perceptual distribution, which gave more possibilities for approaching the detasct fiom different perspectives.
