September 9, 2015 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Data Analysts for Social Good logo

I’m leading a four-part webinar series this August and September 2015 in partnership with Data Analysts for Social Good. Attend one webinar or all four, it’s up to you.

 

Data Visualization Webinar Series, Part 3 of 4

During this 60-minute webinar, we’ll discuss data visualization best practices, such as:

  • Reducing chart clutter by adjusting borders, grid lines, and tick marks;
  • Labeling your data points and axes;
  • Choosing the appropriate amount of decimal places;
  • Ensuring that your text size is hierarchical and readable;
  • Matching visualization colors to your nonprofit’s and/or funder’s logo;
  • Highlighting key findings with deeper, saturated colors;
  • Selecting text colors that sufficiently contrast with your background; and
  • Writing titles, subtitles, and annotations that summarize desired takeaway messages.

We’ll go through several real-life remakes so you can see how these principles transform cluttered graphs into great communication tools. We’ll also pause a few times during the webinar for hands-on practice within Microsoft Excel. For example, after we discuss text legibility, you’ll transform hard-to-read diagonal text into easier-to-read horizontal text. Then, after we discuss color palettes, you’ll apply custom RGB codes to your own graph. Materials for hands-on practice will be shared with registrants a couple days before the webinar.

 

Date and Time

The webinar will be held Wednesday, September 9, 2015 from 1 – 2 pm Eastern (2 – 3 pm Central).

 

Kudos for the Design Principles Webinar

“This was an AMAZING webinar… The webinar gave me tips to implement immediately and inspiration to how to change things over time (especially as I become more proficient in creating new charts).”

“Ann was amazing! This was one of the best webinars I’ve attended.”

“I will never write a proposal even in the same way. Now back to writing my proposal with some visuals!”
