Kiss keep it simple stupid an example of11/21/2023 You may think of a title as an afterthought. But is it effective? Let’s have a look at some best practices when it comes to planning and structuring your viz. And yes, Tableau art as I like to call it will stand out. If someone can’t understand your viz within 5 seconds, they will move on. In the modern world of twitter, your viz will appear in a flood of others, especially with Makeover Monday. A chart or dashboard should stand out and be obvious to the reader. I don’t want to post images or name names, but hopefully a lesson in simplicity can help improve peoples visualisations. However, what is it telling me? This blog post came about after watching the Makeover Monday viz review on Wednesday. I often see work on Tableau public and particularly through Makeover Monday which is visually stunning, however misses the point. I have always taken this approach to my visualisations, check my Tableau public gallery to see. If you see a viz and don’t know what it’s message is in 5 seconds, then (in my opinion) it hasn’t done its job. Simplicity is key to any good visualisation. Let’s have a look at how to apply it to our world of work. Something which is easily transferable to data visualisation. I forget who it was in particular who introduced me to the acronym, but I thank you whoever you are! Essentially, it boils down to not over complicating things. KISS – this is a principle I have come across in past work and life in general before joining The Data School and entering the world of data analytics.
