Portraits: General Rules of thumb1. Think simple: picture should be
clear and descriptive.
2. Illuminate list : draw your ideas, put your insights.
3. Visually Describe: pictures are easy to compare than the
words. Visual aspect make them
memorable.
Charts: General Rules of thumb
1.Show the data: make it pictorial with charts and comparison to
make it interesting and descriptive.
2.Pick the simplest model to make your
point
Maps: General Rules of thumb
1. Every thing has a geography: connect
the components.2. North is a state of
mind: draw maps of different
parameters to compare them.
3. Look beyond the obvious hierarchy.
Timelines: General Rules of thumb1. Time is a one way street.
2. Repeating timelines create life cycles.
Round versus linear
Flow chart: General Rules of Thumb
1.Start with the problem: Define your problem, keep your solutions ready. Have
multiple solutions2.Multiple Solutions: are
they viable/ feasible? Will it work ?
3.Start working on it.
Multiple Variable Plots: General Rules of thumb
1. Multiple variable plots aren’t hard to make, but they do require
patience, practice, and, above all, a point.
2. Medium-thick soup is best3. Anything can be mapped to
anything else, but…

Q2. Are they bad if they need explanation at all ?
Q1.how can we best go about verbally describing a picture ?
Start looking aloud:- Look: What's the picture all about? What's included and what's not? What are the
coordinates and dimensions?Keep seeing aloud:- See: What are the three most
important things that stand out? How do they interact? Is there a pattern emerging? Is there
anything critical that we don't see? Continue by imaging aloud:-Imagine: How can we manipulate or take advantage of emerging patterns?
Are there open opportunities? What is not visible here? Where have we seen this before
Close by showing aloud:-Show: This is what we think it all means. Do you see the same things? This is what
we think our options are. Do you agree?
Q2. Are they bad if they need explanation at all ?
