Visualizing process: How to create a stakeholder-friendly graphic timeline of process data

This presentation at the AEA Evaluation 2013 Conference by Artineh Samkian, the University of Southern California, and Joel Greene, Harder+Company, gives an overview of the steps involved in creating a graphic timeline that is accessible to stakeholders.

The highlight of this presentation is the number of examples of graphic timelines provided. The examples showcase a range of styles created for different purposes and audiences, while all drawing on and making clear the importance of the strong integration of colour, photos, graphics and text.

The First 5 LA timeline is examined in detail during various stages of production to highlight the steps involved in creating a finished product:
