Fig. 7. Design space analysis of narrative visualization. Columns indicate recurring design elements and selected regions highlight patterns in the data. Region (1) shows clusters of orderingstrategies that correspond to distinct genres of visual narration. Region (2) highlights the consistency of interactive designs used by visualizations. Region (3) shows the under-utilization of strategiesto engage the user in the interactive functionality. Region (4) shows the under-utilization of common storytelling techniques across narrative visualizations.

Five Tips for Data Visualizations that
Communicate
Friday, April 4, 14
• As powerful as visualization can be to enable rapid sense-making, many visualizations require a lot of context and interpretation, especially static, printed visualizations.
• Think of the annotation layer as like the narrator’s voiceover in a documentary film. In fact, if you make a motion video, that might literally what it would be.
Raise Your Narrative Voice
The New York Times
Tip #1: Provide an “Annotation” Layer with Explanations
Friday, April 4, 14
Friday, April 4, 14
Friday, April 4, 14
• If data visualization is based in converting quantitative or qualitative data values into visual marks, your user needs a key or legend to convert those back into the original meaning
• While there are conventions (up is higher, right is forward in time), they are frequently broken. You need to be as clear as possible, even if your vis is less “cool” that way.
• Most maps without scales are almost useless as maps.
Help the User De-Code What You Encoded
Tip #2: Always Explain Symbology and Scale

How Many Encodings?
Tip #2: Always Explain Symbology and Scale
Friday, April 4, 14
• Position (teams, records, payroll)• Number (record, payroll)• Icons/Text (teams)• Line (connection between record
and payroll)• Angle (relationship betw. record
and payroll)• Color (relationship between
record and payroll)• Line thickness (size of payroll)
How Many Encodings?
Tip #2: Always Explain Symbology and Scale
Friday, April 4, 14
• Interactive visualizations can be intimidating or befuddling when they show many records, especially over a long time series.
• Guiding the user through “snapshots”of interesting states –!zoom, filter and query –!will help them get the most out of the visualization.

Tip #3: Offer Main Points of Visualization in a Sequence

Tip #3: Offer Main Points of Visualization in a Sequence
Friday, April 4, 14
• Linear narrative draws reader through sequence
• Heavy use of text annotation and headline writing
• Smooth transitions help eye follow change
Tip #3: Offer Main Points of Visualization in a Sequence
Friday, April 4, 14
• Also known as “details on demand,” interactive visualizations are richer when they give you as much info as possible on individual measures
• In that sense, they are database front-ends in addition to graphical summaries.
Visualizations are Databases
Tip #4: Where Possible, Offer Record-Level Detail

Wish we had could read original pages...
Friday, April 4, 14
• Interactive visualizations can be treasure troves of information. Just because you chose not to highlight or showcase a particular point doesn’t mean that it isn’t of interest to someone else.
• Offering “deep links” into your visualization makes it more useful for everyone
Assist Collective Discovery
Tip #5: Enable Saving the Visualization State
A “URL Encoded String” passes information about the current state of a visualization through the browser’s location bar.
Example: http://url.com/#p-page-main/layer-4/subLayer-0/hide-0/?
