DATA VISUALIZATION AT JSI
FOUR THINGS TO CONSIDER
WHO ARE THE STAKEHOLDERS?
WHAT INFO DO THEY NEED?
HOW WILL THEY USE IT?
WHY DO THEY CARE?
BEAUTIFUL VISUALIZATIONS REQUIRE ITERATION
START WITH A SKETCH
Sketch to start…
and you’ll work your way
to something beautiful.
CHOOSE A CHART TYPE THAT MEETS YOUR DATA NEEDS

ANATOMY OF A CHART
STEP ONE
Draw some sketches &
then create electronically.
SKETCH FIRST
LET’S START HERE
STEP TWO
Reduce the clutter
STEP THREE
Add meaningful labels.
STEP FOUR
Emphasize with color.
STEP FIVE
Add meaningful titles.
ON CREATING TITLES
State your takeaway message in the title
Generic Better Best
Readers have to spend precious
time decoding charts with generic
titles.
The title gives details about what
the indicators are, but does not tell
a story.
The title tells the story explicitly
and clearly, giving your reader the
message.
Figure: Total Population Total Population by World
Bank Country Income
Classification
The proportion of the global
population living in middle
income countries has grown
over the past 50 years, now
estimated at 70% of the
world's population.
Your title needs may change depending
on your audience: scientific journals
may require a different title than a web-
based communications product.
