-Graphic Aid- converts the complex data into visual form making it simpler to understand. Picture says more what words can convey and so proper usage of graphic aid makes the design better.

-Consistency - It includes elements such as margins, typeface, and indentations which keeps the data uniform throughout making it look better.

3) Too much of visual aid without better explanation through text can also lead to misunderstanding and misinterpretation of data. Long lines of text can decrease the readability. Mismatching of fonts and improper spacing of letters can also make a bad impact on the design. Wrong combinations of colors and poor contrast schemes . Dark background making the text hard to read. These are the things that can go wrong.
