Improving Screen Content Design for Better Communication

I don't think we talk enough about screen content design. Often when I look at a customer's account, they'll be uploading the content they would have otherwise be emailing around or printing out. Now the problem is, people are gonna be upwards of 10 feet or more away, the screen may be high in the sky, or we may even be walking past the screen at speed. You simply cannot read that amount of content and fully understand it. We need to consider the environment that people are in and the amount of time they will have to process the information. It's not that hard just to be a little bit more deliberate in our choices. This also extends out to data visualization. One of our most popular features at ScreenCloud is securely displaying dashboards on a screen. However, most of those dashboards have been designed by data scientists for other data scientists. We need to do a cut version of that where maybe only one or two key numbers are nice and big, flagged to all, and understood by everyone who's looking at the screen.
