2016 is quickly (too quickly!) wrapping to a close, but we are already hard at work on 2017 plans. There are a lot of exciting things happening here at Dimensional Insight that we are looking forward to unveiling in the New Year.
As manager of this blog, every year I take a look back at our blog posts that performed well (as well as those that didn’t perform as well) to see what resonates most with our readers. From our top blog posts this year, our blog readers clearly like practical tips to help them better visualize their data. You can definitely expect more of that in 2017! Wondering what was tops on our blog this year? Here’s our list of the Top 5 blog posts published in 2016.
1. A Cool Tool for Experimenting with Dashboard and Portal Color Schemes
Which colors should you use for your dashboards? Do you want to look at some different color combinations before using them in your dashboard design? In this blog post, we take a look at Adobe Color CC, a cool tool that allows you to experiment with thousands of different color combos.
2. Meet the Dimensional Insight Team: Sandeep Chandila
We profiled several of our employees this year so our readers could learn more about the people behind Dimensional Insight. This blog post profiled Sandeep Chandila who works in our Coral Springs office. He was also that office’s “Consultant of the Year” in 2015. Read this post to learn how Sandeep helps our customers and what he likes to do outside of the office.
3. How to Select Charts for Effective Data Display
When you’re visualizing data, which chart, graph, or indicator is right for what you’re trying to accomplish? In this blog post, we take a look at a variety of different options so you can clearly communicate your data to users.
4. How to Determine the Ideal Screen Dimensions for Dashboards
With users looking at data on a variety of different devices – PC, laptop, tablet, phone – you need to know the best dimensions for your dashboards. In this blog post, we examine how you can figure out the right screen dimensions for your users.
5. What’s Your Drink of Choice on Election Day?
This election-themed blog post centered around drink preferences of Democrats vs. Republicans. After analyzing a set of data from Beverage Marketing Corporation, we found that Democrats are 44% more likely than Republicans to drink wine and Republicans are 13% more likely than Democrats to drink beer. This was an incredibly fun blog post to research and write, and we hope to write more of these data-centered posts in 2017.
