The thing that's specific to data visualisation is the problem of mapping properties of your data to properties of the visualisation. Some good resources on this are
The Visual Display of Quantitative Information - Edward Tufte
The Grammar of Graphics - Leland Wilkinson
FlowingData's guides - https://flowingdata.com/category/guides/ https://flowingdata.com/category/guides/
But from your list I gather that you're more interested in the visual design of things (colour schemes, fonts etc); if that's the case you can search for resources on visual/graphic design which I don't know too much about. I can say that the choice of fonts and colours is a small part of data visualisation - very few basic princpiples, using a tool with good defaults and some common sense get you a very long way. The bigger part is deciding which parts of your dataset to communicate in what way and the resources that I mentioned are pretty good at teaching you that.
