    52: How to Keep Your Reader Engaged with Thoughtful Annotations — Featuring Alyssa Fowers Feb 18, 2020
    Show notes

    I've noticed that many of the really engaging graphics have something in common: really thoughtful annotations. Usually, we think of annotations as a way to communicate context (like the title, subtitle, data labels) or point out outliers or specific events.

    But what if we thought of annotations as a tool beyond just context. What if we could use annotations to keep the reader more engaged?

    In this episode, we'll learn about a recent project by Alyssa Fowers, where she visualized data about protests around the U.S. and the specific things she did to create annotations that made her project more engaging. Let's go!

    Why do we care about finding the underlying emotion in our project?

    Because it can help guide us toward visualizing the data in a more meaningful way for our audience. It helps you hone in on their point of view and what they really want.
