Originally a small project in the data visualization community, \u003ci\u003e#MakeoverMonday\u003c\/i\u003e features a weekly chart or graph and a dataset that community members reimagine in order to make it more effective. The results have been astounding; hundreds of people have contributed thousands of makeovers, perfectly illustrating the highly variable nature of data visualization. Different takes on the same data showed a wide variation of theme, focus, content, and design, with side-by-side comparisons throwing more- and less-effective techniques into sharp relief.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is an extension of that project, featuring a variety of makeovers that showcase various approaches to data communication and a focus on the analytical, design and storytelling skills that have been developed through #MakeoverMonday. Paging through the makeovers ignites immediate inspiration for your own work, provides insight into different perspectives, and highlights the techniques that truly make an impact.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplore the many approaches to visual data communication\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThink beyond the data and consider audience, stakeholders, and message\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesign your graphs to be intuitive and more communicative\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAssess the impact of layout, color, font, chart type, and other design choices\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eCreating visual representation of complex datasets is tricky.
