Four Pillars of Visualization
By Noah | Add a comment |
Please enjoy content based on my Four Pillars of Visualization design principles. I hope you find it useful. The best way to reach me to provide errata and feedback is on twitter.
The Four Pillars are:
- Purpose (the why)
- Content (the what)
- Structure (the how)
- Formatting (everything else)
Here are the resources. I’ll update this page as new material comes online. Everything is free.
- A five-part webcast series on good visualization design, based on the Four Pillars, and PDFs of the slide decks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
- Concise blog posts discussing the Four Pillars. The depth here is roughly equivalent to what I cover in the standard Four Pillars lecture (as seen above).
Unfortunately, these posts have been removed by IBM. I need to reconstitute them.
- Longer whitepapers that go more in-depth on how to make good design choices.
- A slide deck from spring 2016 covering the process, which works for a lot of styles of communication, not just visualization.

This is very exciting. I can’t wait to watch webcasts!

Looking forward to watching your webcast. Our Thanksgiving dinner conversation was centered on chart junk.

I’m in the middle of your webcast series now, and I must say it is by far the best I’ve come across. I wanted to read the whitepapers, too, but the IBM site says they aren’t found, so I hope you can repost them someday. Anyway, thanks much.
