From the lesson Different Types of Data Visualizations
Work through each step on paper or on screen. Use a real business, a project of your own or a friend’s idea. Keep this page for your portfolio.

2Pick the visualization type that fits.

Worked example to compare with: Simplifying a chart
- Start: a chart with eight colors and a legend.
- Change 1: gray for all bars, one accent color for the key bar.
- Change 2: direct labels, no legend.
- Change 3: a title that states the insight, such as "Search drives 40 percent of leads".
- Result to look for: a reader gets the point in five seconds.
