“Having employed dozens of designers, I’ve never once taken into account a candidate’s academic qualification. I might take into account with design college, but I’m not swayed by the quality of degree.. I just know that too many good designers achieved poor grades at design school and it is always worth looking beyond academic marks.”
Adrian Shaughnessy

Quantitative:Quantitative data are things you measure as numbers such as temperature, money, and the number of scratches from your cat. You can split quantitative data into two groups, continuous and discrete.

Qualitative:Qualitative data is descriptive information about things that can’t be quantified with numbers, like male/female and hair color. These are categorical data, data that indicates belonging to a category or group. Often you’ll want to group your data by the categories and compare them.

Representing data with visual elements
