Reminder: this assignment should only be started after completing modules 1-12 of the training.
For this assignment, you can either use the example chart below, or (preferably) start from a chart of your own choice (a visualisation you made yourself, one produced by your organisation, or one you found somewhere online or in a publication).
First, you should formulate the main message of the chart. Why was the chart made, and what did the author wanted his audience to take away from the chart?
Next, you should formulate design edits to accomodate the visualisation for use in print, for online, on a slide in a slide deck, and for social media, while still keeping the main message of the chart.
You will probably get the most of this assignment if you take one of your own charts or a chart produced by your institution as the starting point. But if you prefer not to, you can use the visualisation below, coming from The Economist.
