Making Good Charts

Headline

Make sure your chart has a headline.

The headline should be the first thing that the reader should read.

As for the heading itself, it could be either a takeaway, a question, or a pun.

Both question or a takeaway work. Pun doesn't.

Take the below as an example.

Having it NEET Economist

Here, a pun is the heading.

A takeaway or a question instead would be much more powerful.

Examples:

  1. 25% of youth in India are neither employed nor studying.
  2. What % of youth in India are unemployed?
