Interface Design Considerations for Data Visualization

This talk illustrates the design process behind Kindred Britain (kindred.stanford.edu), an interactive network visualization and digital humanities project, made with Nicholas Jenkins and Elijah Meeks of Stanford University. I'll discuss interface and visual design considerations critical to any visualization, framed in the context of five core elements we faced with Kindred Britain: visual structure, navigation structure, interaction, color, and authorship.
