Pick the best chart
If there is a problem, there is a solution. Start by identifying your needs, then find the appropriate category and choose what suits your goal best
Practice design thinking
While brainstorming, refer to our cards for a boost of inspiration and a new perspective on the problem
Explain the principles of dataviz
The cards can be used as educational material and are great for simply explaining the details of each chart or graph to colleagues or students

There are times when you only want to use pie charts all the time… Try taking a new path by exploring alternatives to displaying part-of-whole

Instead of going over all the diagrams in your head, lay out the cards on the desk or in Miro and let the customer choose the chart he or she prefers
Make it UNO
We thought that with our card set we could learn to play a fun card game like UNO. Is this really the case? Drop us a message.

What our community says
Qlik
VizCards is a simple tool suitable not only for beginners but also for advanced researchers. When there is a question of how to properly display my data, cards come to the rescue.
X5 Retail Group
Very convenient. You can always take them with you to a meeting with the customer and sketch a prototype for the future dashboard. I’m sure it will be useful for everyone, both analysts and developers, and product owners for presentations.
Vizuators
During our projects, we use it to solve a deadlock and decide what to sketch when we’ve run out of ideas. Also, we once gave the deck to a client during our discussions — it was the first time we had seen an adult person look at cards for so long.
