An ultimate guide for designing responsive data visualization cards
Data visualization cards? what's that?
Well, if you have designed dashboards for data representation before, you will be familiar with data visualization cards. In short, data visualization cards are small, self-contained units of information that display one or more charts, graphs, maps, or other visual elements. They are often used in dashboards, reports, or web pages to provide a quick overview of a topic or a key metric.
It’s simple, right? Just design a few bars, show some pies, and put it in a card. Why bother reading this guide, then?
This guide not only instructs you on how to design the card but also demonstrates how your design scales on different screen sizes. Scaling data visualization cards is not just about resizing them to fit the available space. It’s also about ensuring that the card maintains its readability, usability, and visual appeal across different sizes.
