Episode notes
Text for Key Numbers
- Use text for one or two key numbers to maximize impact.
- Avoid graphs or tables for such small datasets, as they can be misleading.
Tables vs. Graphs
- Tables require more cognitive effort than graphs due to scanning and comparing.
- Enhance tables with visual cues like heatmaps or embedded graphs for easier interpretation.
Line Graph Usage
- Ensure lines connecting points in line graphs are meaningful, especially with time series data.
- Consider line graphs for their clean design, annotation space, and animation potential.
