Designing any effective information graphic, which includes data visualizations about climate change, first requires thorough analysis. This includes research of current public knowledge about the topic, its psychological and informational features, visualisation strategy, and technical possibilities of the final design.
The results of research and analysis are fundamental for defining content, medium, and visual features, all of which enable further planning and execution.
Only such approach can lead to an effective design communication, which functions as a credible addition to already existing vast and dispersed contents, is adapted for reading on the web, humanizes the data, helps the reader with understanding the problem, and encourages him to actively participate in its solution.
