Presented to VizThink Dallas in February 2012. Offered as a deep dive into ways that we can organize ideas into more powerful messages that can sell or persuade others.
Big idea: "String together frameworks or models to sell a big idea... or simply persuade others to open up."
This presentation explores the visualization of health data through four sections. It begins with the Quantified Self movement, followed by a deep dive into principles of data visualization. Next it explores metaphors for visualizing personal data through a range of examples, and ends with a case study on a project Schema worked on in collaboration with the Center for Public Health Nutrition and the Urban Form Lab at the University of Washington, called Mapping Health.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect.

In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

4. Visual frameworks are for exploring,
organizing and communicating
information.
Processes, progressions, sequences
Nodes connected in flows of varying complexity.
Meaning is derived from order.
5. Groupings
Affinities, categories, comparisons
Nodes and other nodes - Nodes without explicit connections, order or sequence. Meaning derived from
their individual properties and spatial relationship to each other.
Structures
Networks, hierarchies, systems.
Nodes with explicit connections and relationships, where flow is absent, secondary or implied. Meaning is
derived from connections.
Flows
Processes, progressions, sequences
Nodes connected in flows of varying complexity. Meaning is derived from order.
Metaphors
Common visual archetypes
6. Random. Nodes with no discernible affinity or relationship. The starting point and ending point.
Homogenous; white noise.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
7. "Toy soliders." Nodes that are identical save one attribute. Demonstrates variation on a theme;
diversity of function. Examples: UI Buttons, tokens
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
8. Clusters. Nodes grouped by affinity. The first step in emerging forms and patterns. These small
centers of gravity will attract other nodes and become something larger. Example: Animal, Vegetable,
or Mineral
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
9. "Venn Diagram." Nodes that share a set of attributes and retain unique properties. Demonstrates a
merging of interests, activities or responsibilities.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
10. Collective action. Nodes that combine in function or direction. Elements retain individual identity
while demonstrating integrated, aligned activities. Examples: Gears, Flock of Birds, Rowing the Boat
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
11. A system with no center, where nodes can freely relate to each other. May be partially connected or
fully meshed. Decisions and influence are dispersed. Any one node of the network may fail without
substantial impact to the system. Example: the Internet
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
12. "Puzzle pieces." Nodes that combine to a whole without an explicit hierarchy or relationship.
Demonstrates unity but not function. Emphasis is on whole; the parts are secondary. Examples:
bricks, puzzle
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
13. A hierarchical network in which all nodes relate to each other only through the center. Any outer node
may fail without impacting the network, but the central node must remain intact. Example: Spider
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
14. Butcher view. An abstract representation of parts of the whole. Emphasis is on area and neighbors.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
15. Missing Piece. Metaphor of structure or grouping with focus on one piece. Demonstrates need for
completion; there is something that we forgot, or need to complete the whole. Example: keystone
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
16. Exploded view. Nested grouping of nodes of the whole. The engineer's blueprint; parts broken apart
for examination. Emphasis is on parts; the whole is not easily discernible.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
17. Matrix. Compare meaning of nodes. Demonstrates need for analytical and planning work. Example:
2x2
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
18. "Links in the chain." Failure of any one node may cause the failure of the entire network, unless it
"heals" itself. Likewise, each node reinforces the strength of all others. Examples: Starfish, cell
membrane, token ring
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
19. A simple network of sequential connections with a terminus at both ends. Nodes relate to each other
through this linear chain of connections. Any break in the chain may cause the entire system to fail, or
to create two smaller networks. Examples: earthworm
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
20. "Metro map." An abstract, simplified representation of a network in sequential nodes and links.
Emphasis on routing, not location.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
21. "Onion Skin." Hierarchy of expanding attributes. Answers: What is core, and what is peripheral?
Examples: Dart board
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
22. X-Ray view. Realistic or metaphorical view of the internal workings of system.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
23. "Route map." An abstract representation of a network of nodes and links in a circular arrangement.
Emphasis on connections, not location. Example: Enneagram
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
24. "Vision." "Wedding cake." Loose hierarchy of construction. Demonstrates building toward an
endpoint. Examples: pyramid org chart, vision structure.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
25. "Layer cake." also "Core Sample." Loose hierarchy of construction. Demonstrates adjacent areas of
function or order. Often answers: What's the foundation?
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
26. "Fishbone diagram." Hierarchy of problems linking up to the root cause. The fish "stinks from the
head."
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
27. All points may freely associate with each other, agnostic of geography. Compare to mesh network.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
28. "Nature's ladder." Hierarchy of order. Each node in the system has a parent, except for the root.
Example: Tree
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
29. Iceberg. Metaphor. Most important issues are unseen beneath the surface.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
30. "Nesting dolls." Hierarchy of containers. Often identical outside of size, each retains the properties of
the set. Demonstrates growth or reduction through duplication.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
31. "Timeline." Nodes ordered along a single continuum, usually by time. Emphasis is on order, planning,
but also story and sequence. Demonstrates simplicity of action, known events; transactions.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
32. "Swim lanes." Multiple timelines ordered along a continuum; may emphasize dependencies between
them.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
33. Sequence. Linear story, interpreted in framed events.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
34. Spectrum. Define two extremes to frame the matter at hand. Choices made within a spectrum are not
binary, but fall along the continuum. Example: Forcefield
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
35. Steps. Incremental improvement or progress. Laborious but well defined effort.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
36. Infinite loop. Variation of iteration, with implied inflection point at the meeting of the two loops.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
37. Broadcast. Pushing out from a center. May involve breaking up parts of the original form. Sharing
with the outside, radiate. Examples: Colonize, Transmit, Message.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
38. "Uroboros." Repeating sequence of nodes. The last node in the sequence triggers the restart of the
flow. Demonstrates unity, sustainability of action, repetition. Examples: Clock face, "cradle to cradle"
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
39. Spiral. Logarithmic growth out from or winding down into a center of mass. The "seed" or "black
hole" at the center shapes the flow of the line, which is always accelerating. See also: death spiral.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
40. Sankey. Demonstrates quantity of flow in a system. Branches may converge and diverge freely.
Example: River
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
41. "Uroboros." Repeating sequence of nodes. The last node in the sequence triggers the restart of the
flow. Demonstrates unity, sustainability of action, repetition. Examples: Clock face, "cradle to cradle"
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
42. "Pitfall." The way ahead is fraught with dangers and obstacles.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
43. "Six million dollar man." The blueprint for idealized success or failure. See also: X-Ray
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
45. "Pipeline." An unordered flow is slowed to a regular pace as nodes are ordered and directed. In
reality, all will eventually move through a funnel. Compare to Filter.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
46. Branching path. One to many. A singular flow splits into multiple; demonstrates choices, division of
forces, plan of attack or progress.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
47. "Links in the chain." Failure of any one node may cause the failure of the entire network, unless it
"heals" itself. Likewise, each node reinforces the strength of all others. Examples: Starfish, cell
membrane, token ring
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
48. Also "Donkey Kong." Metaphor. Two steps forward and one step back. Progress is slowed by errors
and bad luck.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
49. Transformation. Create a new form by changing or destroying the old. May imply change in shape,
function, purpose.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
50. Converge. Pushing into a center. May involve creating a new form. Centralizing, solidifying, emerging.
Examples: Merger, Pressurize.
Key: G=Group S=Structure F=Flow M=Metaphor
51. In the most general sense, a model is
anything used in any way to represent
anything else.
Some models are physical objects, for instance, a toy
model which may be assembled, and may even be
made to work like the object it represents. They are
used to help us know and understand the subject
matter they represent.
