The subject matter, using visuals to tell a story, is a good area for almost all subject majors. I had this as a course text and learned quite a bite from day 1. Recommend highly. The author is obviously knowledgeable about the subject matter and enjoys the presentation of information.

This book is fantastic, as someone that uses slide decks on a daily basis this has been a huge help for how I think about the story I want to tell and what assets are best suited for doing this. Reducing cognitive load per slide is something that has stuck with me, everyone who works with slide decks or does presentations with data should be reading this

There is some good stuff in here.
I like Knaflic’s focus on intentionality. For her, the defaults are something that should be avoided, or at least justified.
I like how she looks at the presentation of graphic information as a story arc. There is one thing that you want to focus on to create actionable decisions. This is best, as she describes, if you are presenting. There are limitations if you have a static document that has information for multiple stakeholders.
The book is accessibly written with a clean font and plenty of examples.
However, I do have to push back a bit. She follows Tufte in trying to eliminate data ink. Part of the intentionality is that you have less and less information on the page and every thing you includes helps tell your story. For me though that leads to a sameness. You want your audience to not have to think so hard. You want to make sure they don’t have their eyes glaze over. But that means that everything is very simple with a muted palette. The author notes that some of these are just her preference, but the mode of thinking has become influential. Part of me wants my audience to do some work in...

I work in the project controls arena of large projects that have hundreds, if not thousands of people working on them. A key requirement for project controls is to keep all project personnel informed about the project status. Needless to say engineering plays a major role on these projects and brings lots of data with them; pages and pages of it. As the author points out the analytical types are not necessarily trained on how to tell a story (i.e. communicate) with their data.
For the last 10 years or so, I have developed methods for getting the project story down to a single graphic. It's usually a large graphic, but a single one. It has the effect of getting everyone on the same page. But for people who are not used to looking at this type of presentation, it can be overwhelming or as the author points out they have to work at it in order to understand it. This was a key point for me.
Before I finished the book, I started making changes in my work products. They were small changes, but the feedback was very positive. One example, do you ever note information in page footers like date, time and maybe filename and path? Does anyone think to put them in the...
