• - data to enter in the diagram
• - computer with the right software

Instructions

1

Choose the most appropriate chart. There are many kinds of diagrams, but none of them is universal. For example, if you want to use a pie chart, then this view is preferred for displaying the integer fractions. It can be percentages, kilograms, hours - anything, but remember, mixing units of measure is by no means impossible. Column charts, on the contrary, are suitable for comparing several parameters, reflecting dynamics. Do not display the trend line, if you do not have data for the period, or you compare the indicators of different objects.

2

The diagram should be clear. To achieve this, you need a data signature. If you have many different categories, take their names to the legend next to them. Write in what units of measure you provide information. But do not overload the diagram with redundant data - the visualization should look like a visualization, and not as text.

3

Mark the axes, if you drew, for example,linear relationship or bar graph. Sign the column / sector values. This will not only allow you to accurately provide information, but also, perhaps, avoid pronouncing all the details of the schedule. Viewers themselves can see all the information they are interested in and, if desired, ask questions.

4

To make the diagram look harmonious insidemake sure that the font of the captions and title matches the font style in all slides. Adjust its size and fat content so that everyone can read all the signatures and footnotes. You should find a "golden mean" - the size of the inscriptions should be large enough to be visible in the last rows, but not enough to occupy half of the slide.

5

Pay attention to the color. Choose one that does not merge with the background and signatures. The diagram should be visible on the slide, but do not make it too bright. A sharp contrast spoils the impression of visualization.

6

Make sure that the size of the chart allows you toconsider all the details. If there is no information on the slide, place it in the center. Thus, you optimize the space of the slide, and the diagram itself will fit organically into it.

7

Finally, check how it will be displayeddiagram when the presentation is shown. Ask yourself, do you like its visualization, can you accurately describe the data. Check for typos and font mismatches.
