Abstract
'The one thing that marks the true artist is a clear perception and a firm, bold hand, in distinction from that imperfect mental vision and uncertain touch which give us the feeble pictures and the lumpy statues of the mere artisans on canvas or in stone.' Oliver Wendell Holmes. The Professor at the Breakfast Table (1860) . An effective statistical graph is a work of art and science. To make an effective statistical graph, we need to understand the art of graphic design and the science of statistics. The principles for designing an effective graph combine these two points of view. By applying these principles, we can make better, more informed decisions in how we represent data. And the resulting picture should be the more perfect 'mental vision' and the more 'certain touch' of a 'true artist'.
