I'm not going to add much to my idea of an annotation-narration-storytelling continuum in this post. I'll try to develop it further and explain it in my next book. For now,
you can read about it here. Nonetheless, I'd like to bring attention to a good example: The latest infographic by
Ford Fesseden, published today by
The New York Times. It demonstrates how to integrate words and visuals.
Its interactive version, co-designed by
Mike Bostock, is also mind blowing.
