Presenting Data Effectively

Now in striking full color, the Second Edition shows readers how to make the research results presented in reports, slideshows, dashboards, posters, and data visualizations more interesting, engaging, and impactful. The book guides students, researchers, evaluators, and non-profit workers -- anyone reporting data to an outside audience -- through design choices in four primary areas: graphics, text, color, and arrangement. The Second Edition features an improved layout with larger screenshots, a review of the recent literature on data visualization, and input from a panel of graphic design experts. New and key features: A new checklist provides guidelines to help readers develop their skills in visualizing data; Revised content on text addresses font sizes, how to handle text in graphics, and which fonts to use and not use; Guidance based on Microsoft Office products makes it easy to implement the suggestions and examples without purchasing new programs or learning new applications.- Back cover.
