My Jumpstart
My favorite type of graph is a pictograph. I enjoy looking at them even though they are not the most useful for science. The graph maker can be very creative when making the graph and use any type of picture that applies to their data. I enjoy using clip art for my designs since I am not very artistic. Pictographs are useful if you are making a graph for someone who does not speak English. My favorite type of graph is a pictograph.
