Graphic design: What kind of a class would best suit my job need?

By admin | May 17, 2009

Dien asked:


I work as a journalist and am learning graphic design on the job. One area I have trouble with is interpreting data and effectively translating them into a graphic. I’m looking for a class to take but I don’t know what it’s typically called; if I did, I would know what to look for in my search for one. What is it called? Data analysis? Visual data interpretation? I appreciate any help from graphic designers who know. Thanks!

    I am a graphic design student but none of my classes get this specific. I have recently read books by Edward Tufte. His work specializes in presentation of information and data.

    i never heard such a class, but i think you must interpreting data to statistical graph first and make a visual graphics design based on graph, many various thing that you can visualize like moods, temperament, personality, characters, etc
