Activities and Lab Time

• Overview of Diagrams and Sequentially Based Graphics
  Built on the foundation of research, good information design:
  1. Provides a means to see what lies within
  2. Finds relationships
  3. Calls attention to things that might not have been visible in other forms
  4. And perhaps even determines the answer to a question.
