If you’re ever stuck thinking of ways to communicate information visually, then bookmark the Periodic Table of Visualization Methods. All you do is mouse-over one of the squares on the table and you’re presented with a visual sample of how you can organize materials.

And because the table is from the Visual Literacy group, it’s well laid out visually. Colour coding quickly tells you if an element is useful for visually communicating a metaphor or displaying data or laying out a strategy, while symbols indicate how much and what kind of detail is offered in the examples. Brilliant!
