How do you anticipate data visualization design trends?

In my experience, always start with how many variables you are planning to showcase in single visualization/graph. Find the best & simple form of visualizations for those number of variables. For example, if you have only One variable, may be use simple statistical summary, or histogram. See if suffice your requirement. The goal of visualizations is not to look fancy (okay may be 5% haha), however the primary goal if to potray information in easy and simple manner.

Anticipating data visualization design trends is like predicting what will be popular in fashion or games. You look at what's happening now to guess what might become popular in the future. Here's a simple way to do it. Remember, predicting design trends is a bit like making educated guesses. By paying attention to what's popular now and staying open to new ideas, you can get a sense of what might become the next big thing in data visualization design.

From my perespective, first step is cleaning the messy data and make it in a standardized format with respect to problem statement. For example: Removing missing values in income column for Housing Loan case study.

Knowing your audience is absolutely key. It’s relatively easy to learn the various tools and technologies that are common for data visualizations such as Tableau and Power BI. The real value add of a data analyst comes from their deep understanding of the process and/or system that is generating data. That understanding, paired with core data visualization concepts, can allow the analyst to create a visualization that not only displays the data, but guides the audience towards high-impact, data driven decisions.

From my perspective, knowing audience is crucial step in visualization journey, for example when I presented visualization for KYC use-case infront of global investor is more easy to understand info graphics and when I presented in front of collaborated colleagues then it is more technical presentation which is help both the teams to understand well.

It is very important to keep up with visualization trends for your industry. However, going back to the basics is always better than overloading your visualization with too many bells and whistles. It is a great idea to check out community visualizations in your industry on Tableau Public to draw inspiration, but also make the judgement call on how intricate the viz needs to be based on your audience.

From my perspective, visualization should be plug and play easy tool to create any visualization for even newborn. When I presented visuals for farming project, I kept it handy showing only necessary information in one slide.

From my perspective, visualization principles are important aspect while designing and planning stage for final board display. When I designed front-end board for Home Loan, I kept 3 pointers in mind, aesthetic which is good colors combination, second placing of information in a manner that tells story by itself, and third is data integrity.

Utilizing the correct tool for the project is absolutely key. Here are some of the questions I ask myself when evaluating a project to help determine the best tool: 1. Do I need to utilize an open-source framework? 2. Does my organization already own a tool that would work well for this project? 3. What is the distribution model for this visualization? 4. Do the users need to be able to download the data or simply look at the visual presentation?

From my perspective, knowing and exploring tool is one of the important initial step, so I learnt Tableau for visualization purpose but when I joined organization then demand was to use new visualization product which I learnt in 3days by exploring there Documentation and can easily create visualization on it. So the key is know one or two tools and automatically other tools you will be able to explore.
