Visualization Design

(Activity) for Tier: Data Analytics

PURPOSE

To follow a structured approach that leads to the development of a narrative regarding how to understand or implement the insights from the study or model. Visualization Design consists of three elements: the available data, visuals, and a narrative. The narrative consists of premises that logically lead to a conclusion(s).
