This module addresses the crucial next step: transforming a mere collection of charts into a powerful tool for communication and decision-making. A dashboard fails if it is cluttered, confusing, or unintentionally misleading. In this module, you will learn the art and science of effective data visualization, focusing on how to design with the end-user in mind. We will move from theory to practice, exploring foundational principles from world-renowned experts like Stephen Few. You will learn to critically evaluate every visual element on your screen, asking the core question: "Does this serve the data?" Through a series of compelling case studies, guided critiques, and hands-on formatting exercises, you will master the techniques to eliminate "chart junk," maximize your data–ink ratio, and adhere to strict readability standards. By the end of this module, you will be able to confidently defend your design choices and optimize any dashboard for maximum clarity, impact, and user comprehension.
