This is Brilliant! Periodic Table of Visualization Methods

Translate Into:

One of the toughest parts of playing with new ideas is finding a way to effectively present those ideas to other people. You wrestle with PowerPoint graphs, charts, doodles you make in Photoshop and finally stomp off in a frustrated huff. Well, no more! Ralph Lengler and Dr. Martin J. Eppler from visual-literacy.org have developed a fantastic chart that organizes tons of ways to present information in visual ways.

Not only is it super handy to hover over each of the methods and see examples, but the chart itself helps us to see connections between different approaches. The table itself is a brilliant example of how the right visual can not only present information but actually make knowledge by organizing material.

Go check it out and be inspired!
