Answer 1

There are numerous times when we have to share large data, information, and stats about certain issues. Writing them in mere words may make it boring for the receiver as well as too complicated to compare. In such times, providing visual information with the help of images, graphs, charts helps a receiver in understanding large data and facilitates a comparison of the varying elements in an easier manner.

To ensure that the visuals provided are effective, one must take care of the following:-

• Use colors to make the visuals attractive but sticking with a complimentary palette will make sure that the receiver is not overwhelmed with all the information and colors in the visual.
• To display changing trends and tastes/preferences of consumers, pie charts, and graphs can be helpful for the viewer to understand the elements.
• Similarly, for information which has sub-types, tables with multiple rows and column is very helpful in making the visual easier to understand.
