Show Me the Numbers
Designing Tables and Graphs to Enlighten
Gebonden Engels 2012 1e druk 9780970601971Samenvatting
Most presentations of quantitative information are poorly designed—painfully so, often to the point of misinformation. This problem, however, is rarely noticed and even more rarely addressed. We use tables and graphs to communicate quantitative information: the critical numbers that measure the health, identify the opportunities, and forecast the future of our organizations. Even the best information is useless, however, if its story is poorly told. This problem exists because almost no one has ever been trained to design tables and graphs for effective and efficient communication.
‘Show Me the Numbers: Designing Tables and Graphs to Enlighten’ is the most accessible, practical, and comprehensive guide to table and graph design available.
