SharePoint lists all have a default view that is available to immediately display your data.  However, you are able to customize how your list is displayed if you don’t care for what SharePoint has provided.
To create a Custom View, go through the following steps:
Open a list you have previously created. 
Look at the top-right of your opened list and find View.  Click the dropdown menu.  Choose Create View.
 
Select the View format you desire or choose an existing one.
 
Each view has several features to customize how you want your list to be seen.  I highly recommend playing around with each one to get a feel for how you would like to present you data.
When you are finished, Click OK to apply your view settings.
