This book is based on the Financial Times Visual
Vocabulary and organises 74 charts into 9
categories, providing a practical handbook for
beginners in data visualisation. The title of the book, "Say 'Cheese' with your Chart," aligns with the common phrase used to make people smile in
photographs. Similarly, our intention is for readers
to feel satisfied with their chart choices and leave
with a smile after reading this book. To facilitate
quick referencing, we have designed semicircular
openings along the edges of the book, conveying the
understanding and level of difficulty for each chart.
The book is printed on entirely yellow pages and,
coupled with the semicircular openings, resembles
a block of cheese when standing upright. Behind the
introduction pages of each chart type, we provide
corresponding examples to help readers better
understand how to use these charts. The datasets
for these examples are sourced from our imagined
"Cheeseland," allowing readers to use the book as a
practical handbook while also enjoying the stories
woven within.
