Episode 3

In episode 3 of this mini-series, I discuss the impact of simplified data visualization and how to achieve it. Specifically, I address these factors that affect your visualization:
- Clutter
- Too many visual lines
- Example misalinged header, legends,
- Long categories below vertical bar charts not fitting well under the bars (avoid diagonal)
- How many horizontal and vertical lines (start and stop of visual elements) do you have?
- Can you avoid a legend?
- Do you need these gridlines?
- Do you need tickmarks?
- Colour
- Fonts
- Bold, italic
- Annotations
- Header, subheader, sub-subheader
- File names
- Source data
- Program name
- Validation status
- Proximity - put the description for treatment next to the lines - not in a legend
- Similarity - re-use color for the lines and the font color of the treatment
- Enclosure- box around the most important area (e.g. randomized period vs open-label follow up)
- Continuity - bars being organized below each other have a same starting point - take out the line showing baseline
- Connection - connect what belongs together - line charts over time
- Closure - take away the box around your overall vis
