Overview
Visualization is about turning data and information into insights and knowledge using visual representations such as maps, charts, diagrams, and infographics. It involves a combination of skills ranging from communications, technology, data and design. Data visualization is used to create products (add link to products page once the page is complete) such as snapshots, interactive dashboards, and spatial analysis though maps. Advanced GIS skills may be added if necessary.
OCHA’s visual products have own branding which is based on set of standards, styles, templates, etc. For more, see the guidance section
