When decluttering isn’t enough

This gives you more than design tricks, it gives you a mindset shift. You’ll begin to ask: “What is the one thing I want my audience to walk away with?” and “Does the chart type I chose help or hinder that takeaway?” As Simon Rowe basically puts it: decluttering is always a good first step, but it isn’t enough if the visual still fails to deliver the message. Create visuals that don’t just look clean but clearly communicate.
