How to choose the right studio
Ask someone to read a chart
Show an example to an intended reader and ask them to find a value or explain a comparison. Notice where they pause.
Assign data checks
Name the people supplying, correcting and approving data. Share a real sample before defining the project.
Plan updates
Specify update frequency and responsibility. Ask what happens when a value is missing or a new category arrives.
Common questions
Should the studio also handle analysis?
It depends on the team. Some studios include research and data analysis; others work with client analysts. The handoff between interpretation and form needs a clear owner.
How is an infographic different from data visualization?
An infographic may combine text, illustration and numbers in a story. Data visualization centers the work on data structure and the relationships readers need to explore or understand.
How are updates handled?
Agree who adds new data and checks the result. Include support for changes to the source or information format.
