4 Principles of Data Visualization

1. Above all else, show the data

Minimize the administrative items on screen, maximize the information presented.

2. Prioritize the information

Determine 3-5 most important information. Highlight them.

3. Relate the information

Juxtapose, compose and reference the data so it is more meaningful.

4. Leverage the interactivity

Overview, zoom, filter. You can reveal information gradually so it is not too clouded.
