EVENT DETAILS
The data visualization meetups from Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, DC, & New York are joining together to offer occasional joint programs. This is the first of these which Dallas is hosting. Therefore, the registration process & the time might differ from the usual.

Other announcements appear at the end of this message.

Abstract: Every organization that produces data visualizations to communicate their research should create a data visualization style guide. A data visualization style guide does for graphs what the Chicago Manual of Style does for English grammar. It defines the components of a graph & their proper, consistent use. Like a writing style guide, a comprehensive data visualization style guide breaks down the parts of graphs, charts, & tables to demonstrate best practices & strategies to design & style your charts. Elements like font & color, the widths of lines & style gridlines, & the use of tick marks are all choices that determine whether a graph is clear, engaging, & consistentor whether it isnt. Ill argue why a data visualization style guide is useful, what a style guide should include, & steps you can follow to develop a style guide.

There will be a signed book giveaway at the end of the event (shipping to US only).

I previously announced that our April meeting would be Meet Our Members. That session has been postponed to May. There is still time to send me a few sentences if you would like to speak.
