Four Pillars of Effective Visualizations

FormaSng: useful? Structure: correct? Content: (only) the right informa.on Purpose: clear and focused?

! Above all else, show the data ! Maximize the data to ink ra.o
– Data ink is the ink on a graph that represents data
! Erase non-‐data ink ! “Do no harm” with color – color used poorly is worse than no color at all

! Variety for the sake of variety ! Poorly designed display choices that use noisy fill paHerns, line styles, saturated/bright colors
! Inconsistent ordering and placement ! Inconsistent or reversed scales ! Propor.onal axis scaling
