In-Depth Information
In many ways, the central idea behind the methodology is encouraging you to
determine that everything you do is thoroughly planned, understood, and reasoned.
This particular objective is about recognizing and responding to the scoping
information that you will gather at the start of the methodology, to ensure that
everything undertaken thereafter serves the purpose of our work and the needs
of the audience.
Here, we should consider the idea of deliberate design, which means that the
inclusion, exclusion, and execution of every single mark, characteristic, and
design feature is done for a reason.
When we reach the stage of designing, concepting, and construction, you should be
prepared to challenge everything; the use of a shape, the selection of a color pallet,
the position of a label, or the use of an interaction.
In this next example, when displaying a section of a tree-hierarchy work by
data illustrator, Stefanie Posavec, every visible property presented is used to
communicate data, whether it be the use of color, the arc lengths of the petals, the
position and sequence of stems; nothing is redundant and everything is deliberate.

It is also important to make sure that any visual property that is included, but does
not represent data, such as shading, labels, colors, and axes among other properties,
should only be included to aid the process of visual perception, not hinder it.
