This book focuses on the best possible communication strategies for anyone working with data. From students developing a research poster to faculty presenting data findings at a conference, it provides the guiding principles of presenting data in evidence-based ways so that audiences are more engaged and researchers are better understood.
Now in striking full color, the Second Edition shows readers how to make the research results presented in reports, slideshows, dashboards, posters, and data visualizations more interesting, engaging, and impactful. The book guides students, researchers, evaluators, entrepreneurs, and non-profit workers-anyone reporting data to an outside audience-through design choices in four primary areas: graphics, text, color, and arrangement. The Second Edition features an improved layout with larger screenshots, a review of the recent literature on data visualization, and input from a panel of graphic design experts.
