Tips for Telling Visual Stories:
• Layer information
• Present positively
• Make it personal (bring it close to home)
• Let consumers make their own decisions
• Enable interaction
• Provide access to supporting data (online)
Balance: how much to show
“Sometimes the detail makes it interesting:
sometimes detail clouds the essence”

                 -Amanda Cox
                  graphics editor, New York Times
