Alex Velez shares some advice:
A tip I regularly share when providing data visualization feedback is to use multiple graphs instead of packing several series into a single chart. Although it is important to be concise, people are often surprised to hear that when it comes to the number of graphs we share, fewer isn’t always better.
Read on for the advice. It makes a lot of sense for several reasons, as Alex shares. One additional reason is that it goes toward Edward Tufte’s argument about information density: multiple smaller visuals allow you to put more relevant information into the same amount of physical space. This makes your visuals more impactful as a result.
