ABSTRACT
Finding that focus may involve a number of activities, including reading what’s already been written on a topic, viewing information graphics on similar topics, and/or interviewing expert sources or significant individuals that can help you better understand the nature of a story. Also, since you will rarely be an expert in the topics you’re covering, you should learn everything you can to effectively explain and visualize a story for the average audience. This chapter will focus on the graphics research process, as well as some of the more specialized writing styles required for information graphics.
