Unit 8 Reading

What I took out of the Relation Circle patterns, is a way of laying out a network of information that correlates with each other in a circular aspect. Each piece of information is equally spaced around the circle and gives a clear indication of the relationship each part has with one another. Something that may help in the creation of this type of graph is to categorize your information by color coding different portions.

Bubble charts look very similar to scatter plots, but are created in a way that enables the designer to use more information. Bubble charts help the user understand differences and similarities by using data that is placed upon an x and y axis. When developing these graphs, the bubbles can be manipulated through size, color, or contrast so that the user is able to group specific information and understand things quickly.
