I am going to design a management level monitoring page for displaying some sums and counts. No interaction is allowed and it will be used as a monitoring page on a big LCD in the managers view. The project is a web-based application using jQuery. I am looking for some idea to design this page. The amounts are not suitable for charts or guages. But I don't want to display them as raw text and some kind of graphics for making it eye-catching is intended.
What is the best way to create an eye-catching display of numeric values in a web page?
