Presentation Notes
In the live session we will talk more about traditional forms for presenting numeric data, like charts and tables. But remember that numbers aren't the only kind of information that can be visualized. Maps, organizational charts, schematics, photographs, and concept diagrams can all communicate meaning more efficiently and effectively than text.

Presentation Notes
Be precise and concise: Follow the 2x4 design constructs Density & Space Reduce the sense of overcrowding by deemphasizing everything that isn't essential to the story you're telling. Add white space by removing the "Type" column and splitting the table into two groups. Use space instead of borders to separate chunks of content. Reduce crowding by increasing the cell size relative to the font size. Reduce density by widening columns, which also prevents text wrapping. Improve readability by left-aligning text and right-aligning numbers. Contrast & Color Create useful contrast by adding color only to the things that deserve attention. Don't settle for the tool's default color scheme. Choose colors purposefully. Remove unnecessary fills. Zebra striping is useful for larger tables but your eye can easily follow the rows of smaller tables if spacing is adequate. Graphics & Typography Pie charts! In 3D! Replace them with a simple, purposeful chart that actually tells the story you're trying to tell. Use sans serif fonts to make large amounts of numbers easier to read. Besides, Times is a lazy font choice. Use bolding and font size to reinforce contrast. Avoid all caps. Replace unnecessary abbreviations. Place a dash in empty cells to show you intended to leave them empty. Not every number needs a dollar sign. Format percentages as percentages. Round to the same decimal in all cases. If all the cents are zero leave them off. Front Door & Pattern Create a clearly identified title that helps tell the story. Establish a visual theme by drawing font and color choices from the company logo. Listing table items alphabetically is ok. But here it makes more sense to list them in descending order.
