About this course: In this course, you will analyze and apply essential design principles to your Tableau visualizations. This course assumes you understand the tools within Tableau and have some knowledge of the fundamental concepts of data visualization. You will define and examine the similarities and differences of exploratory and explanatory analysis as well as begin to ask the right questions about what’s needed in a visualization. You will assess how data and design work together, including how to choose the appropriate visual representation for your data, and the difference between effective and ineffective visuals. You will apply effective best practice design principles to your data visualizations and be able to illustrate examples of strategic use of contrast to highlight important elements. You will evaluate pre-attentive attributes and why they are important in visualizations. You will exam the importance of using the "right" amount of color and in the right place and be able to apply design principles to de-clutter your data visualization.
Who is this class for: This course is primarily aimed at individuals with some fundamental data visualization knowledge, who are familiar with the basics of Tableau, and want to begin applying key design principles to their visualizations. We consider this course still meant for the beginner who wants to gain experience in presenting data visually, but also it is appropriate for those who can analyze data and want to gain more exposure to visualization design concepts.
