Often, data professionals do well in wrangling and analyzing the data but stop short of producing charts that are visually appealing at the expense of clarity.

If you want to deliver professional level, visually appealing reports, this is the session for you! In this tool agnostic session, we'll focus on how to:
• Eliminate noise and enhance clarity in your charts
• Incorporate Gestalt's principles of perception
• Layout report pages to tell a story
• Choose colors
• Design for visual impairments
