Create Effective Data Viz
Effectiveness Matters
If your visualizations are not effective, you are not getting your point across. Good visuals are powerful.
Visuals for your data should be the same way. A layperson or someone who has no idea about your topic should be able to take the main points away or at least view your data clearly.
Fusion Charts’ “Principles of Data Visualization-What We See in a Visual” explains how to make an effective chart. It is a good read for anyone looking to improve their visual presentation skills.
