If you’re interested in a short course on icon array design, part of my free Data Viz for Anti-Racism course walks through the process of creating an icon array infographic.Worky - 80+ Corporate Business Office Media Network Vector Set80+ OFFICE BUSINESS WORK VECTOR DRAWINGS ILLUSTRATIONSThis is an awesome graphics and illustrations bundle of business, office and work vector sketches. It let’s you dive into the data, using annotations to highlight individuals as well as groups of people. Icon arrays also make for really good story telling visuals. If you wanted, you could create an interactive version where you highlight a dot and the individual Senator appears in a pop-up box. Take this Senate chart for instance, each dot represents a senator. Icon arrays can also make really easy interactive visuals. This icon array mimics the look of the U.S. Icon arrays have been seen more often in election data in recent years. A lot of Icon Arrays you see in the wild tend to be alternative pie charts using a base 10, 100, 1,000, etc. So this Icon Array by Ann K Emery is a pretty simple visual. Icon Array Inspiration Depict Data Studio – Students Receiving Free and Reduced Meals: From Nested Donuts to an Icon Array If each point represents a person, knowing that as a reader can help you connect with the data. Icon arrays can also help you individualize the data. The icon arrays would provide you with more depth.
These are very different datasets but the bar charts would look identical.
In the other chart you have an “n” of 1,432. Most of your basic charts (bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, etc.) don’t show you the values underlying the visual.įor example, say you have two equal bars, each would show you 50%. Icon Arrays, in my personal opinion, are vastly underutilized. There are all sorts of things you can do with Icon Arrays in XD. This lets you create all sorts of different shapes and sizes for different dissemination tools. You can also copy/paste or duplicate artboards. It can be shape you’ve drawn (like the first example), an icon you pulled from a site like the Noun Project, or a picture (like the Bernie Sanders meme cutout). You can create an icon array using this approach with any kind of icon you have.
Just click on the artboard title, you’ll be given the ability to drag the sides (or you can just change the pixels in the W & H boxes on the right side of the page). Adjusting the Art BoardĪdjusting the art board is as simple as adjusting the size of any shape within the artboard. You can easily shift the text placement, change the size, change the font, or change the color. Adding ColorĪdd color by just selecting a square and then clicking on the box next to “Fill/Border.” Adding LabelsĪdd labels by clicking the “T” icon and entering the text somewhere on the page. This let’s me move the chart around without changing the initial look. This lets me lock the proportions and turn off the responsive resize. Usually I will ungroup all of my individual grids, then group all the squares together. Stretch and SkewĪdobe XD is a vector design program, so you can stretch and skew to your heart’s content without sacrificing quality. What you lack in automatic charting, you gain in complete control over formatting. Adobe XD is a design program, not a spreadsheet. Okay, so now you know the basics, let’s look at what else you can do. Now drag out each row until the number of boxes match the frequency you are trying to visualize.Īnd there you go, you have an icon array chart. Now Copy/Paste your Grid so you have 5 rows, then drag them apart to create the series. Use “repeat grid” to copy the square across, till you have the number you want to visualize (in my case, 7). I’ll make mine 50 pixels wide by 50 pixels tall. Adjust the size of the square using the panel in the upper right hand of the screen. It’s okay if it’s not a perfect square, we’ll fix that in the next step. Draw a square by clicking on the little square icon and drawing it on the artboard (you can also change the fill color if you’d like). You should also have some data… I’ll just use some random numbers: 7, 8, 12, 14, 19. It doesn’t matter which you choose, you can create multiple artboards of different sizes within each Adobe XD file. Start by creating an artboard in Adobe XD. Today we’ll talk about one of my all time favorite charts, the Icon Array.Ĭreating a bar chart (or column chart) in Adobe XD is just a little shape creating. In each post we will take on a different chart type.
