need principles for report design

I’m starting to write reports with BO-XI 3.1. We’re also moving to BI Suite.

I’ve been a a Sql Developer for many years and a big fan of good reports, but have never been a report writer / BI team member until now.

I got good help with getting started here: https://bobj-board.org/t/133936.

So I’m looking for information / books on actual report design look and feel. The higher level topic is how people actually process information, which you kind of need to know before designing a report.

I found a couple of links and a book, but if you have anything else that might be helpful, please advise.
