Register here

Often the default charts that our chart-making tools spit out are a little lacking when it comes to telling our data story. Whether it is too much chart junk, overly cluttered axes, or ineffective titles, most of the charts we make can benefit from a little polish afterwards. This webinar will discuss both general principles and specific techniques that can be used to increase the effectiveness and impact of our visualizations.

This webinar is part of the Equitable Data Visualization webinar series, sponsored by the California State Library and Pacific Library Partnership. For information about the other webinars in the series, please visit this link: https://www.library.ca.gov/services/to-libraries/ccl/webinars/
