Story telling with data - Early Thoughts

I accidentally had to skim through the book storytelling with data. The context of data presentation and some examples sharing it here.

Example #1

Chart #1


Updated Chart #1

My Observation - Subjective outcomes so bar chart would convey highs/lows effectively


Example #2

Chart #1

Updated Chart #1

My Observation - One-liner info added. Plus volumetric growth is projected.

Example #3

Chart #1


Updated Chart #1

My Observation, Line chart is less clutter in terms of low / high patterns

Summary

  • Understand the context
  • Choose an appropriate visual display
  • Eliminate clutter
  • Focus attention where you want it
  • Think like a designer
  • Tell a story
Disclaimer - Subjective topic, lies on individual choices and preferences though :) What you can interpret.

Keep Exploring!!
