Design clear charts and graphs that communicate findings effectively.
Good data visuals clarify patterns and support arguments. Choose the simplest chart that conveys the messagebar charts for comparisons, line charts for trends, scatterplots for relationships. Label axes, include units, and avoid unnecessary decoration. Use color to highlight key points but ensure accessibility with high contrast. Annotate charts with short takeaways to guide interpretation. When presenting, explain what the visualization shows and why it matters. Clear visuals make data persuasive and accessible to diverse audiences.
