Visuals are meaningful only when they are
Memorable,
Impactful and
Personal.

But with a good visual, we make it unforgettable

The challenge of communicating information becomes
especially difficult when trying to convey a message full of
complex data, which is often difficult to interpret quickly
and clearly to the naked eye.
HORIZONTAL BALANCE
A good visual balances what we see vs what we think. If one
of it goes out of proportion, we lose the horizontal balance.
