Handout from session at 2011 AEA/CDC Summer Evaluation Institute

People think visually. However, most of the tools that evaluators, data analysts, and statisticians use actually confuse our natural visual interpretation skills. Today, we will share practical guidance that makes data presentation more effective, engaging, and valuable. Some of the topics we’ll be discussing include research-based information about improving layout and workflow, information visualization, chart selection, and styling. We’ll show real-life examples to demonstrate how applying these best practices enable charting laymen and experts alike to work like visualization ninjas.

Zach Gemignani is co-founder and CEO of Juice Analytics. His focus on making client’s data more usable and valuable has helped Juice provide solutions with real benefit. His writings and speaking engagements have earned him a tremendous reputation in the Data Visualization arena.
