We do want to make beautiful dashboards because beauty is attractive, looks tidy, reliable and helps to create impact with our visualizations. But beauty is also just a package – the value of a dashboard is in the way it helps to read the data intuitively.

“Considering the audience” is one of the most important pieces of advice in storytelling and data visualization. It is generally suggested to think about their needs, goals, and ability to understand the items displayed in the visual.
This allows our message to reach them more easily and resonate with them better, but the idea of “considering the audience” itself is quite vague. Some of us have a natural sense of empathy and “get” the right approach quickly, while some of us don’t and need a more concrete checklist.
For example, we have guidelines on how to deal with colour blindness – which is a trait our audience might have, but examples like these are usually floating alone.
In this article, I will turn the vague suggestion “consider the audience” into something more checklist-like, which you could go through and consider the audience “considered”.
What if your client or stakeholder asks to make the dashboard you prepared to be more eye-catching, beautiful, or just cool? In such cases, we have one job – a very subtle one – to enhance UI without sacrificing UX, dataviz or information designs, maybe even enhancing them altogether.

Here, I will try to extract principles for data visualization from the underlying reasons why data visualization is even a thing.
