One question regularly raised in my workshops is around novelty. Does it make sense to change up the colors or graph types so the audience doesn’t get bored? My answer is a resounding No! The story you are telling should be what keeps your audience’s attention (we’ll talk about story more in Chapter 7), not the design elements of your graphs. When it comes to the type of graph, you should always use whatever will be easiest for your audience to read.
