Develop mock visuals to demonstrate colors & Style Guide #67

Closed achafetz closed 5 years ago

achafetz commented 6 years ago

We need to demonstrate how colors/styles are implemented. Below are a few ideas for mocking up as examples, similar to Urban Institute's style guide.

We can get an initial jump on these and them update when we have more detailed info hashed out about fonts/symbology/etc.

Below is a first go at mock visuals. I've also attached the Excel file to mock up different fonts/size/etc.

Adding additional visuals as options to work from.

@achafetz @bbaack this looks great. I like sample 1, 2, and 4. Not so much of 3, something about the Courier New font.

Suggestion for how to apply the color palettes/visuals to existing tools, or even creating a graph would be to save the chart as a template that analysts can then pull up and apply to their current visual. For example, it's great to apply the color palette to an entire workbook, but then it messes up the conditional formatting in a table for % achievement to match pano. Is there a way to do this so it applies to only a specific graph? @kimisatoPC & I noticed this issue while she applied the color palettes to the DREAMS dash.
