Unscramble the letters and write each key term on the line.
1
OEUPPRS NDA NACIEUED
The reason a visualisation is made and who will view it. Together they decide the content, level of detail, tone and style, so the same data can look different for different audiences.
2
GNMF-RLOO NPAOHRIICGF
A tall, single-page visualisation that tells one story from start to finish as you scroll down through headed sections of text, graphics and charts.
3
ROPSET ESESRI
A set of separate infographic posters that share one template and colours, each with one message, linked by a common theme.
4
ODARDABSH
A single screen that combines charts, tables and key figures so a viewer can monitor data at a glance, such as sales or attendance.
5
CSLEIR
A set of buttons linked to a table, pivot table or chart. Click a button to filter the data, so a viewer can explore it interactively. Clear the filter to show everything again.
6
XTET NDA SGPAICRH
Titles, headings, captions and key figures (text) plus shapes, pictures and icons (graphics) that frame and explain the data so viewers know what it shows and what matters.
7
ETBLA
A visualisation component that shows exact values in rows and columns, used when the audience needs the precise numbers. Clear headers and only the rows that matter keep it readable.
8
THRAC
A visualisation component that turns data into shapes such as bars, lines or slices so patterns can be seen quickly. Use one ______ per message and place it near its explanation.
9
LROUOC ELTEAPT
A small, consistent set of colours where each colour has one meaning. Use the same colour for the same category, and never rely on colour alone, so colour-blind viewers can still read it.
10
TFON RYRAHEIHC
Using only two or three fonts, with size and weight showing importance from title to heading to body to caption, so a visualisation is easy to read.
11
CION
A small simple picture that makes a topic quick to recognise. Keep icons relevant and in one style, use them only where they help the data, and credit or get permission for any you borrow.
12
TNSTSCENIO EGSIND
Using the same colours, fonts, alignment and spacing on every part of a dashboard or poster series so it looks unified and is easy to read.
