Some questions around visualisation

[jonathanblaney]

These are some questions which can help focus reactions to a visualisation:

• What cognitive and/or affective effect does this visualization have on you as a viewer/reader?
• How do you think that effect differs from reading the same data in other forms (e.g. as text or in a spreadsheet)?
• Can you imagine other ways this data could be visualised that would be more/less effective?
• What do you imagine is the intent of the creator of the visualisation by presenting the data in this way?
