Tool for Visualization Methods

I came across this tool from visual-literacy.org that outlines in a table different visualization methods, organized by the type of information to be communicated. While it may contain more types of graphs, charts, and other visual aids than I ever thought possible, it is interesting to see the variety of ways that content can be presented.

It can be a good catalyst for designers looking for a new or different way to pitch an idea, and a great reminder to all of us on the importance of visuals in presentations.

Storyboarding

Part of my role in our project is to develop storyboards, and I was curious as to how they are done in a corporate setting. My experience so far has been the hand-drawn sheets from 770, so I wanted to try a different model. Erica was able to share a template from her work that we used as a group. It was interesting to use this storyboarding model (example below) and to get a sense of one of the versions that are used in corporate settings.



It seems like storyboarding is a particular task at each company, and that there is not a standard template that can be taught. It has been useful, though, to try to use a model for our project.
