Session: Common Data Visualization Mistakes
As data visualization tools become easier to use, our charts become more misleading. While we may not all be designing dashboards that will be seen by hundreds, there’s a high chance in our jobs we will create at least one or two charts. Perhaps we try to fit too much detail on the page, or maybe our aggregations don’t make sense for the audience. This talk will go over common data visualization mistakes, and how we can stop ourselves from making them.Key Takeaways
- Mistakes to look out for when creating your data visualization.
- Ways data visualizations can be misleading.
- How to design charts that are easy to read.
