Power BI Report Design for the Aesthetically Challenged
Have you ever looked at other people's Power BI reports, and wondered how they look so good? Designing an aesthetically pleasing report does not require a graphic designer, just the lessons you'll take away from this session.
Do you ever worry that your reports look they were born in the 90s, or designed by a 3rd grader? Do you feel overwhelmed when tasked with creating attractive reports which tell the customer a story? Thankfully, a few simple design concepts can have big impacts on your reports. There are easy-to-learn techniques and patterns to create a pleasing look and feel to our reports, and some well defined principles to decide which visual is most appropriate in your situation.
Join me in this session to learn:
- - How to choose the right visual to complement the data message.
- - Best practices for visual formatting to tell a complete story.
- - Colour theory - designing a colour palette, and ensuring accessibility.
- - Layout techniques for clean and simple reports.
- - Real estate management, or how to fit everything on a report without it looking cluttered and losing effectiveness.
