WHY PRESENT DATA VISUALLY?
                            It increases
   It makes complex    information retention
      data easier to
       understand

 It creates                     It pulls out key
something                        messages and
shareable                       provides clarity




 It creates                    You control the
excitement                        message
COMMUNICATING RESEARCH EFFECTIVELY:
   MAKING SHAREABLE PRODUCTS
What are the key messages here?
THE FOUR KEY CONSIDERATIONS:

• INITIAL IDEA – what part of your research do you want to present visually?

• LOGICAL PURPOSE – Does your graphic device have a purpose that adds to
  your key research messages?

• DESIGN PRINCIPLES – How will you create the best appearance and format
  for effective message communication? Which software tools will you use?

• PUBLICATION PLATFORM – Where will the graphic be published has direct
  implications on the level of detail, size, complexity, etc.
REMEMBER!
• Information design tells a story with pictures.
• It’s NOT ONLY about making something aesthetically pleasing, or about
   branding, style or making a glossy product…
   …It’s about making your research data:
CLEAR
COMPELLING
         and CONVINCING

Your data can only speak if you ask it a question, so work out…

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FROM YOUR DATA

and WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW IT

Then get creative with these tools…
