- →location: what’s the spot?
- →audience: who’s this for?
- →story/narrative: what are you saying?
- →relevance: does the audience care?
- →
- 2make sure your data visualizations actually do what you’re saying they’re doing!
- →clarity: what’s the point of each viz?
- →complexity: does each viz dive deep enough into the data?
- →cohesion: do the visualizations work well together?
- →impact: what is the emotional and intellectual response to the data?
- →
- 3start to think about the experience of your visualizations.
- →how do you move through them?

consider the visual system 🎨
how can your discrete visualizations begin speaking the same visual language? how can parameters for how typography, color, and image application and treatment create a unified experience? begin exploring a consistent visual language to use by defining your system’s rules.
- →method suggestion #1: individually, determine rules for a visual system and explore it by applying it to your visualizations. then come back together with your team for discussion on potential combinations or one to explore further.
- →method suggestion #2: as a team, define a set of rules. then individually explore how the system can be applied to your visualizations. come back together as a team for discussion on how you might modify or rework the system.
refine your visualizations! 📊
refine the 5+ visualizations, now beginning to integrate a consistent visual language.
- →clarify the rules of your visual system, and be consistent in their application.
- →there should be rules for how color and typography are applied, and for how images and visuals are rendered.
sign up for feedback! 📣
sign up for feedback meetings on monday, oct. 19
- →sign up sheet will be made available at 4:20pm, check the team doc later!
