  8. Genres of Visual Storytelling

  9. Role of Visualization in Storytelling • Visualization designers are “melding the skills of computer science, statistics, artistic design, and storytelling” (Economist 2010) • How much visualization? • How much interaction? • How much text? • How does the author maintain control of the flow of the story?

  10. Example: Barry Bonds and the Homerun Record

  11. Example: Barry Bonds and the Homerun Record • Traditional layout (upper left to right) • Use of image sizes, contrast, and colors • The use of Barry Bonds as an “arrow” pointing to the number / text of interest

  12. Example: Budget Forecasts, Compared with Reality • http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/02/02/us/politics/20100201-budget-porcupine-graphic.html

  13. Example: Budget Forecasts, Compared with Reality • Consistent visual platform (across tabs) • Constrained interactivity • Details on demand does not affect the flow of the story

  14. Reconsider Gapminder

  15. Author-Driven vs. Reader-Driven • Traditionally storytelling falls under the author-driven or reader-driven dichotomy. • Recently, most storytelling (with vis) falls somewhere in between.

  16. Balancing The Two • Three Common Schemas • Martini Glass • Begins with author-driven, but allows the user to explore in the end. • Interactive Slideshow • Allows the user to explore at particular points of the narrative. • Drill-Down Story • Allows the user to choose his own story of interest by selecting from an overview.
