Time's graphics director helps you get smart about charts
Article Abstract:
Several graphics techniques can help readers remember numbers. A graphics specialist should consider the audience's interest in and knowledge of the subject; one would create different graphics for a doctor and a general reader of a fitness magazine, for example. The information source should be printed on the chart. Only data that is essential to the point of the article should be illustrated. Sometimes a non-numerical illustration is a better choice, with the numbers explained in the caption. Use of humor, wit, or an emotional reaction is effective in illustrations and can be attained by relating the chart or graph to something outside the numerical content. An example is a chart of US birth rates printed on the oversized diapers of a smiling baby. Graphics should be simple and easy to read. Computer-generated graphics may need to be traced by hand.
