Go to Stephen Few’s blog, “The Perceptual Edge” (perceptualedge.com). Go to the section of “Examples.” In this section, he provides critiques of various dashboard examples. Read a handful of these examples. Now go to dundas.com. Select the “Gallery” section of the site. Once there, click the “Digital Dashboard” selection. You will be shown a variety of different dashboard demos. Run a couple of the demos.
a. What sorts of information and metrics are shown on the demos? What sorts of actions can you take?
b. Using some of the basic concepts from Few’s critiques, describe some of the good design points and bad design points of the demos.
