Document Summary
Comparing, revealing a trend, or showing parts of a whole. Describing a process, illustrating a concept, or portraying an emotion. Milton says: place visuals next to the elements they explain. Anything that doesn"t directly affect the element, it goes in the appendix. Visual aids are about your own credibility. Left to right and bottom to top need equal dimension. Distracting use of grids, shading, and background. Pull quotes: select key sentence, change font and color to help break up the visual border. Bullet lists: can use sub-points, like this, not creating a hierarchy (no # or letters) Text-based charts: organization chart: shows hierarchy of info, flow chart: shows sequence, process distinction; how something moves from one pt. to another. Captions go on the left or bottom. Line bar graph: emphasizes individual measurements and trends. In grouped bar graphs: simple bar charts, allows comparison of simple. Pictograph combines line drawing with graphics and address emotions.
