Why do I recommend fixing skinny bar charts and skinny column charts?
The reason that creating a chart that looks good (and properly conveys your message) is important for several reasons. Firstly, it enhances the clarity of your message, making complex data more accessible and easier to understand for your audience. You don’t want to distract your audience from your message with a skinny chart that is hard to read.
Secondly, well designed and formatted charts are better at capturing your audience’s attention and maintaining their interest. That’s because they can clearly see the data and follow along with you, as opposed to squinting at the screen trying to make sense of your data visualization.
