Custom data visualization designs and infographics

Custom Visualization & Infographic Design

Communicate complex information with compelling visual narratives that engage audiences and make data memorable through innovative design and storytelling techniques.

Visual Storytelling That Resonates

Standard bar charts and line graphs serve many purposes, but sometimes your data deserves more creative treatment. Our custom visualization service goes beyond conventional chart types to create visual experiences that capture attention and communicate insights effectively. We combine design principles with data accuracy, ensuring visualizations are both aesthetically engaging and truthful representations of underlying information.

What's Included

Bespoke Visualization Design

Custom chart types and visual metaphors designed specifically for your data characteristics and communication objectives.

Interactive Infographics

Web-ready infographics with interactive elements that reveal additional information on hover or click, enhancing engagement.

Multi-format Deliverables

Visualizations optimized for web, print, presentations, and social media with appropriate resolution and formatting for each medium.

Usage Guidelines

Comprehensive documentation including style guides, templates, and best practices for maintaining visual consistency.

Design Philosophy

We approach each visualization project by understanding your audience, message, and data characteristics. Color choices consider brand guidelines, emotional impact, and accessibility requirements including color-blind safe palettes. Typography balances readability with aesthetic appeal, using font hierarchies to guide attention. Layout decisions account for scanning patterns and information priority, ensuring viewers grasp key points quickly while supporting deeper exploration for interested audiences.

Communication Impact & Audience Engagement

Well-designed visualizations transform how audiences perceive and remember information. Visual processing occurs faster than text comprehension, enabling viewers to grasp patterns and comparisons immediately. Creative visualization approaches make data more memorable, with distinctive designs creating stronger recall than generic charts. Interactive elements encourage exploration, allowing audiences to discover insights relevant to their specific interests.

Design Techniques & Visualization Types

Our design toolkit extends beyond standard business charts to include innovative visualization approaches appropriate for different data types and communication contexts. We select or invent visualization methods that match your specific needs.

Network & Relationship Diagrams

Visualize connections, flows, and relationships within complex systems. Network diagrams reveal organizational structures, influence patterns, and interconnected processes. We use force-directed layouts, hierarchical trees, and chord diagrams depending on data characteristics and the relationships being illustrated.

Geographic & Spatial Visualizations

Represent data with geographic or spatial dimensions through choropleth maps, bubble maps, cartograms, and location-based visualizations. We handle projections, boundary data, and appropriate symbolization for clear communication of regional patterns.

Flow & Process Visualizations

Illustrate movement, transitions, and sequential processes through Sankey diagrams, alluvial plots, and custom flow visualizations. These reveal how quantities move through systems, where bottlenecks occur, and how compositions change over stages.

Comparative & Part-to-Whole

Design visualizations showing proportions, hierarchies, and comparisons through treemaps, sunburst diagrams, marimekko charts, and custom metaphorical representations that make relationships intuitive.

Accessibility & Inclusive Design

Effective visualizations reach all audiences regardless of visual capabilities or viewing conditions. We implement accessibility features that expand reach without compromising aesthetic quality or impact.

Color-blind Safe Palettes

All color schemes are tested for deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia color vision deficiencies. We use combinations distinguishable across common forms of color blindness, supplementing color with patterns or labels when necessary.

Contrast & Readability

Text and graphical elements meet WCAG contrast requirements ensuring legibility in various lighting conditions and on different display types. Font sizes and weights are selected for clarity across viewing distances.

Alternative Access Methods

Interactive visualizations support keyboard navigation and include descriptive alternative text for screen readers. Data tables accompany complex visualizations providing information in multiple formats.

Responsive Adaptations

Visualizations adapt intelligently across device sizes, simplifying detail on small screens while maintaining core message. Mobile versions prioritize essential information with progressive disclosure of additional details.

Ideal Clients & Use Cases

Custom visualization services benefit organizations seeking to differentiate their communication, make complex information accessible, or build visual brand identity through data presentation. We work with clients across industries who recognize the value of investing in distinctive visual communication.

Quality Assurance & Delivery

Our review process ensures visualizations meet both aesthetic standards and data accuracy requirements. Each project undergoes multiple validation stages before delivery, confirming visualizations communicate intended messages effectively.

Review Checkpoints

Data Accuracy Verification

Cross-reference visualizations against source data to confirm calculations, scales, and representations are mathematically correct and truthful.

Design Consistency Review

Ensure visual elements align with brand guidelines, maintain internal consistency across visualization sets, and follow design principles for clarity.

Accessibility Testing

Verify color contrast ratios, test with color blindness simulators, validate alternative text, and confirm keyboard navigation functionality.

Multi-format Export

Deliver visualizations in appropriate formats for intended use including vector files for print, optimized images for web, and interactive HTML for digital platforms.

Documentation Package

Each project includes comprehensive documentation enabling consistent future use. Style guides specify color codes, fonts, spacing, and layout principles. Template files provide starting points for creating additional visualizations in the established style. Usage guidelines explain best practices for different media and contexts, helping teams maintain quality when adapting visualizations or creating related content.
