1:56 INFORM
3:17 COMPARE
5:43 CHANGE
7:19 ORGANIZE
8:42 REVEAL RELATIONSHIPS
9:35 EXPLORE

Let’s talk about when we would use each one.

Use INFORM if you have a data point or key message that you want to hit your readers over the head with, or important information that you absolutely want them to know and remember.
Use COMPARE if you want to show similarities or differences between things.
Use CHANGE if you want to show trends over time and space.
Use ORGANIZE if you want to show groups, patterns, rank or order.
Use REVEAL RELATIONSHIPS if you want to show correlations among variables or values.
Use EXPLORE if the goal of your chart is to allow your audience to explore the data and drill down on different aspects.
