Decluttering

Group tasks

  • I want to speak with each group about your forms submission

  • While I’m meeting with other groups, you should be focused on finalizing your data (getting, cleaning, exploring)

Clutter

  • Clutter can be thought of as visual elements that take up space, but don’t aid understanding

  • Clutter adds to the cognitive load of interpreting information

“the larger the share of a graphic’s ink devoted to data, the better (other relevant matters being equal).”

Gestalt principles of perception

  • similarity,
  • enclosure,
  • closure,
