Design Process

By trying a couple principles below, I focused on making charts easy to scan and understand at a glance for viewers.

Highlighting what each chart want to tell by applying the contrast between solid color vs texture. ex) Women vs Men in Computer Science Degree

In this chart on the left, we wanted to tell the story that the percentage of women in CS degrees is lower than men, I applied solid color to women so that the viewer can focus on what matters.

“Diversity and inclusion” in design matters too and color choices in charts can be always controversial. I thought that stereotyping people is against the idea of inclusive culture.

Thus, When it comes to using colors, I tried to be more thoughtful and purposefully avoided using biased/stereotypical colors to represent each group. ex) In Race & Ethnicity chart: no black color for African- American, no yellow color for Asian. i.e. No pink for women, no blue for men.
