1 Dataset 100 Visualizations Part 2

An information design agency challenged themselves to create 100 visualizations from a simple dataset comparing the number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Scandinavian countries in 2004 and 2022 to demonstrate the diversity of data visualization and how different stories can be told using limited visual properties. They chose this dataset as it was simple yet allowed for complex interpretation and comparison of total sites, average sites per country, changes over time, and distributions between countries.

Can we come up with 100 visualizations from one simple

dataset?
As an information design agency working with data
visualization every day, we challenged ourselves to
accomplish this using insightful and visually appealing
visualizations.
We wanted to show the diversity and complexity of data
visualization and how we can tell different stories using
limited visual properties and assets.
Simple yet functional
For the challenge we chose a very simple dataset –
although complex enough for interpretation. The dataset
includes multiple statistical aspects such as comparison,
development, distribution, etc. The dataset compares the
numbers of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Scandinavia in
2004 and 2022.
From the dataset we deduced the total, average,
perceptual change and perceptual distribution, which gave
more possibilities for approaching the dataset from
different perspectives. The story could be on the
development of total Scandinavian national heritages or
focus could be that Sweden has significantly more than
the rest both then and now. Or the fact that in a few years
Denmark surpassed Norway.
