Dashboard Graphics That Tell the Story

摘要

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a good data graphic is worth a million numbers. They help cut through stacks and stacks of data and highlight the critical trends. Edward Tufte (www.edwardtufte.com) is the master when it comes to designing elegant graphics, and if you are in the business of converting data into actionable information then I strongly suggest you read his books and become familiar with his work. Understanding and developing good graphics is a hot topic these days when many folk are talking about data dashboards and are trying to develop high-impact graphics that display key metrics.
