Al D wrote a new blog post: When to use color - What’s it adding? 10 hours, 54 minutes ago
It seems at though people love color (too many years of css mean I’ve given into the American spelling, I’m afraid). I do too, but it’s so easy as a designer to get pressurised into making things too colorful.

Al D wrote a new blog post: Sparklines - relative changes 1 week, 3 days ago
I’m pretty sold on most of what Stephen Few promotes, and have been following his advice by designing a dashboard with some sparklines (an Edward Tufte creation to show trends).
Sparklines are a great way of showing qualitative trends in data over time. They work really well at giving an overview and they fit on one [...]

Maybe you have seen Little Britain. It’s a smash hit comedy sketch show in the UK, not to everyone’s taste but whenever I think about dashboards one of the sketches keeps coming back to me.
A middle class couple with a nice house are going out for dinner and they are expecting a babysitter from an [...]

Al D wrote a new blog post: Creating dashboards - Why? 2 weeks ago
I’m a multi-purpose designer (web, UI, print, you name it…) for a medium sized software house in the UK. We make specialised software which deals with transactions on behalf of the customer. Why does this matter? Because they want to know what’s going on. All the time.
Well, the customers used to just phone up and [...]

Enrich dashboards with Business User comments
Present information in three different [...] -
Hubert Lee wrote a new blog post: Why I Love Business Dashboards 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Dashboards are like haikus. They force upon me a structure. You may think that’s bad, but it’s the best thing that can happen when I need to focus.
I’m a busy guy. During the day, my mind is all over the place. I’ll open a browser to look something up and then the phone will ring, [...]
