What are some best practices for creating facts and figures charts?

Here are some general tips to keep in mind to create facts and figures like a superstar:

1. Start with a purpose. Decide what your audience needs to know.

2. Focus on key points. Put the most important information first and make sure your audience can quickly see what is important. 

3. Provide references. Add the source of information for those who want to learn more about the topic discussed.

4. Use consistent formatting. The visual aspect of your chart has a major effect on people and their ability to perceive the information. So, if you choose to bold or italicize your titles, do so throughout the entire facts and figures chart. Using consistent subheadings, bullets, and other formatting options will work as visual cues and help make the chart easy to scan.

5. Use topic sentences to introduce the facts. A topic sentence is the most important sentence in a paragraph. By adding topic sentences to your facts and figures chart, you'll help the reader interpret the data.

6. Choose icons that are relevant and clear. Go for icons that represent the data to make a connection with the information you're visualizing. 

7. Use plain language. Choose phrases and wording that's not too complicated. That way your chart will be easy to understand.
