    Data visualization as a profession has been growing rapidly in recent years. Although some initiatives are in place to increase engagement between the academic and practitioner communities, we currently do not have a good understanding of how practitioners do their design work, including what methods, approaches, and principles they know and use in their everyday practice. We present a subset of results of a survey in which 87 DataVis practitioners identified their familiarity with popular design methods and the frequency with which they use them in their own work. We also discuss follow-up work to develop a deeper understanding of practitioners’ perspectives on design methods.

  3. (, IEEE VIS Workshop on Visualization for Communication (VisComm 2018))
    Interest in communicative visualization has been growing in recent years. However, despite this growth, a solid theoretical foundation has not been established. In this paper I examine the role that conceptual metaphor theory may contribute to such a foundation. I present a brief background on conceptual metaphor theory, including a discussion on image schemas, conceptual metaphors, and embodied cognition. I speculate on the role of conceptual metaphor for explaining and (re)designing communicative visualizations by providing and discussing a small set of examples as anecdotal evidence of the possible value of conceptual metaphor. Finally, I discuss implications of conceptual metaphor theory for communicative visualization design and present some ideas for future research on this topic.

    Numerous online resources for supporting visualization design have been developed in recent years. Although many have become popular among practitioners, they have not received systematic analysis in the academic literature. Here we present a preliminary analysis focused on one subset of online practitioner-oriented resources—those that aid in choosing visualization techniques based on a designer’s communicative intent. We report the results of a comprehensive search for such resources, and discuss findings of an analysis based on multiple characteristics including communicative intent. Finally, we discuss implications and future research directions.
