Using the above discussed attributes, we come up with a simple framework to evaluate visualizations. The criterias covered are as follows:

  1. Suitable type of visualization used for the topic
  2. Use of colors to draw attention
  3. Use of colors/shapes/patterns to differentiate between elements
  4. Labeled axis, with clear units
  5. Title to indicate the topic
  6. Proper use of white space between elements
  7. Contains dataset covers duration sufficient to justify change in pattern
  8. Movement/Animation to draw attention
  9. Describes the topic discussed
  10. Integrity of data
  11. Presents insights/prediction on data
  12. Clearness (quality) of visualization
