Presenting data
Natalie Cantillon & Verity Bellamy
If the statistics are
boring, then you've got
the wrong numbers

There are two goals when
presenting data: establish
credibility and convey your
story.

Notes
LA figures are presented for new boundaries as of April 2009.
Released December 2009
Data will not
speak for itself
A picture is worth
a thousand words
(or numbers?)
Task 1
Draw a chart/s to answer the question..
How does life expectancy vary between
males and females?
Think about chart type, colours/shading and the key
comparisons you need to make
Crayons and rulers available at the front…
Visualisation & good presentation
Keep it simple
Do not present unnecessary information
• ‘Chart junk’
• Decimal places on axis labels
• Repeated information
All graphs must have

Line charts are usually used to show
time series
“The only worst design than a pie chart is
several of them” (Tufte); discuss.
The only worst design than a pie chart is a 3D pie
chart….
• The inclination and distortion of the 3D effect make it difficult
to interpret the data
• In the 3D chart, the Hazelnuts (4%) and the Cashews (8%)
look the same

Does your chart:
Make data easier to understand
Reveal relationships in the data
Add impact to the data
Convert raw data into useful information
If not do you really need to use a
chart?
are like jokes: if you have to
“Graphs
explain them they have failed.”

Remember, your audience is
there to look at you and listen
to your story, the chart is just
an enabler.
Highlight information that is
crucial, leave the rest.
