|
This is a highly practical and example-based guide on visually representing data
|
|
in reports and dashboards. It is based on the work of authors such as Barbara
|
|
Minto, Edward Tufte, and Stephen Few.
|
|
|
|
The guide consists of seven chapters:
|
|
|
|
1. Convey a message.
|
|
2. Organize content.
|
|
3. Choose proper visualization.
|
|
4. Avoid clutter.
|
|
5. Increase information density.
|
|
6. Ensure visual integrity.
|
|
7. Apply semantic notation.
|
|
|
|
Applied together, they will help you to design concise, clear, and actionable
|
|
reports.
