A slide about accurate visualisations asking Is the chart appropriate Are the axis ranges reasonable Is it intuitive Is the 5 second conclusion the same as the 5 minute conclusion
Great pointer from @nrennie.bsky.social on making data visualisations
We as makers spend hours with the data and creating the visualisation, but we need to consider those who are looking for 5 seconds
#WOMBAT2025 #dataviz
The thing about visualisation is that every rule has an exception.
