By Ann K. Emery “It’s not that one visualization style is better or worse than the other. They’re apples and oranges. I want you to figure out when your viewers are expecting to see each style and then learn how to switch back and forth.” […]

I’m happy to report that I actively use all four of those signals! The other storytelling strategy I leverage often is strategic animation during live data presentations. I like to create a dynamic narrative by animating additional charts in to flesh out the story.

It’s dramatically improvement engagement with my presentations.
Thanks Ann!

I admit most of the users go with descriptive title & saturation trying to reveal maximum. Personally believe that annotation is better idea but based on what the audience is and what they are looking for. Anyway thanks for such a nice article?.
