Creating a Super Graphic is a process of using complex, layered, graphical representations for displaying volumes of data in order to discover undetected relationships. The result is more than just depicting volumes of disparate data together; a Super Graphic allows the human brain to discover patterns and meaningful relationships among or between the data elements. Color, shape, position, hue, value, text, charts, animation, icons — anything that communicates information can be used — and it is all based on solid mathematics.
