What do I use this for?

  • This style guide is your single point of reference if you are creating visual content at Alluma, for marketing, for product or for internal purposes.

  • If you want to know how to design a graph, a chart or a map, visit the relevant chart sections under EXAMPLES.

  • If you are looking for guidance on which colors to use for a certain type of map or chart, jump to the REFERENCES section.

  • If you are looking for more general guidance on how to visualize certain data, the CASE STUDIES section will have the information you’re looking for (if it doesn’t, ping the Data Team!)
