Help Modifying my Visual to Make it More Effective and Appealing

Dear Power BI Community,

I hope this message finds you well.

Although I have experience working with Power BI, I find myself struggling with designing visually appealing and well-organized reports. I now realize that creating effective visuals requires a creative touch, and I often face challenges in arranging visuals on a page in a way that looks clean and professional.

I have attached a .PBIX file that I’ve spent considerable time putting together. While I would like to incorporate additional elements such as KPIs and a banner, I’m finding it difficult to create sufficient space for them without compromising the overall layout. When I look at other Power BI examples online, I notice they often include a greater number of visuals—such as headings, KPIs, and other elements—yet still maintain a polished and cohesive appearance.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could review my Power BI report and provide suggestions on how I might improve the layout and design to achieve a more professional and visually appealing result.

Thank you in advance for your time and guidance.

Can someone let me know how to upload a .PBIX? Or is it forbidden to upload .pbix files here?

I have provided a link to the .pbix https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_oWAaVmJ5Ev9oxmn0S1WYfP6JXLLilOJ/view?usp=sharing

"Natural"  reading order is left to right, top to bottom (except for RTL cultures or eastern asian cultures)

BANs at the top left

Avoid scroll bars if possible

Avoid overlapping visuals

Disable visual headers for slicers  and single value visuals

Not clear what story you are trying to tell with the report. 

Use the filter pane to free up screen real estate

canvas color should match visual background color.
