“Designing good charts, however, presents more challenges than tabular display as it draws on the talents of both the scientist and the artist. You have to know and understand your data, but you also need a good sense of how the reader will visualize the chart’s graphical elements.”

~Gary Klass

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF

CHART DESIGN?

What are some-

Page 42: CENTER FOR FAMILY & DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH · PDF filemarital status of mother, 2005-2010 ... Percent Change in Share of Aggregate Income from 1970-2009 ... •Color canhelp tell a story

1. Simplify

• Sort data in a meaningful way

• Minimize ink-to-data ratio Remove unneeded chart elements

– Gridlines

– Chart borders

– Axis titles

– Legends

– Markers & data labels

– Decimal points (in axis & data labels)

– Trend lines

– NO 3D charts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Page 43: CENTER FOR FAMILY & DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH · PDF filemarital status of mother, 2005-2010 ... Percent Change in Share of Aggregate Income from 1970-2009 ... •Color canhelp tell a story

1. Simplify

NO 3D charts!

Page 44: CENTER FOR FAMILY & DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH · PDF filemarital status of mother, 2005-2010 ... Percent Change in Share of Aggregate Income from 1970-2009 ... •Color canhelp tell a story

2. Color vs. Black & White

• When in doubt black & white

• Color can help tell a story

• Color = branding (e.g. CFDR, NCFMR,

BGSU)

– Use a cohesive and consistent color palette

– Be mindful of how audience will view

• Excel vs. Word vs. PDF

• Color vs. B&W print copy

• Colorblind audience

Page 45: CENTER FOR FAMILY & DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH · PDF filemarital status of mother, 2005-2010 ... Percent Change in Share of Aggregate Income from 1970-2009 ... •Color canhelp tell a story

3. Do NOT Use Distorted Charts

• Do NOT misrepresent your data!

• Use appropriate and consistent axis and

scales

Page 46: CENTER FOR FAMILY & DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH · PDF filemarital status of mother, 2005-2010 ... Percent Change in Share of Aggregate Income from 1970-2009 ... •Color canhelp tell a story

4. Present Related Charts Simultaneously

• One-after-another or side-by-side if

possible

– Emphasizes importance of appropriate axis

and scales

Page 47: CENTER FOR FAMILY & DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH · PDF filemarital status of mother, 2005-2010 ... Percent Change in Share of Aggregate Income from 1970-2009 ... •Color canhelp tell a story

5. Know Your Audience

• Academics vs. lay folks

• Undergraduate students vs. graduate

students

• Graduate students vs. professors

• PAA presentation vs. job talk

Page 48: CENTER FOR FAMILY & DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH · PDF filemarital status of mother, 2005-2010 ... Percent Change in Share of Aggregate Income from 1970-2009 ... •Color canhelp tell a story

6. TMC = TMI

• Too many charts (TMC) is as bad as too

much information (TMI)…

Do NOT overload your audience!
