Principles of Data Visualization
1. Simplest: Everything should be made as simple as
possible, but no simpler
 If you take something out and the visualization can be understandable,
so it should not be there!
2. Clear: Clearly communicate information you need to
present

3. Precise: Precisely present data (label, legend, scale, etc.)

4. Efficient: Audience can understand it as fast as possible


(within 10 seconds!)

Keys of
Data
Visualization
WHO?
20

Executives Investor

Manager Customers

Operations Experts
21

Audiences

What they should know?

What they want to What did they know? What they don’t
know? (Existing knowledge) want to know?
22

10 Seconds Test
• Sit in Group
• Show your visualizations
for 10 seconds
• Ask them

“What did they learn


from it and what did
they don’t understand?”

Storytelling Techniques

Comparison Prediction Composition Distribution


Tell differences Show future Show ratio of all Show data
of data trend composition distribution
HOW?
Visualization
with Graphs
Bar Chart
Story: Comparison
X-axis: Discrete data
Notes:
• Set ‘Zero Baseline’
• Slightly change matters
• Standard Error Bars
• Arrange data
• Use vertical bar chart with limited
horizontal space
• Box-plot is bar chart with quartile

Line Chart
Story: Comparison, Prediction
X-axis: Mostly with continuous data
Notes:
• Set ‘Zero Baseline’
• Slightly change matters
• Arrange data timeline from past to
present
• Annotation in line chart makes
audience understand better
• Line chart can be used with Bar

Pie Chart
Story: Composition
Notes:
• Total value must = 100%
• Must show value
• Arrange value clockwise
• Should not use 3D Pie Chart
• If you have many group of data, you
should use Stacked Nar Chart
instead of Pie Chart

Scatterplot
Story: Prediction
X-axis: Continuous data
Notes:
• Show future trends
• Bubble Chart is Scatterplot with
different size of dot which indicates
differences of data

1 Objectives of Creating Data Visualization


Function over Aesthetics

 Simplest
 Clear
 Precision
• No x-Axis info.
• Different range of time
 Efficient
62

1 Objectives of Creating Data Visualization


Function over Aesthetics
 Simplest
 Clear
• Compare or Predict?
 Precision
• X, Y Axis?
• X is continuous value?
 Efficient
• Difficult to understand
• Meaning of color
• Need Annotation
63

2 Understand Data Characteristics

Continuous Data Discrete Data


64

3 Respect Scale
 Simplest
• Color may not be necessary
 Clear
• Clear comparison
 Precision
• Is IQ105 smarter than IQ93??
• Y axis should start with 0
 Efficient
• Rearrange data
65

Respect Scale
matters
66

4 Hierarchy
 Simplest
• Color tone
 Clear
• Clear comparison
 Precision

 Efficient
• Which point should be read
first? Deaths or Rate?
• People will read from left to
right

Analyze this Chart

Function over Aesthetics


 Do not put beauty before functionality

Correct data for X and Y axis


Conclusions Do not overuse Colors

Do not lead audience for misperception
