On principles of good analysis
by Horace Dediu
The most challenging part is how you're going to tell a story with just images and no words.
Words are very efficient but my belief is that to say the important things you don't use words.
Knowing that when you do your visuals you have to be very careful with every thing that is in the frame.
Because every thing tells a story.
And sometimes you have just a small detail, but it looks too important. So you have to put it outside the frame because it tells another story.
With apologies to Michel Hazanavicius, director, The Artist

"Back in the fifteenth century, Leonardo da Vinci made the following remark about visual storytelling: "And you who wish to represent by words the form of man and all the aspects of his membrification, relinquish that idea. For the more minutely you describe the more you will confine the mind of the reader, and the more you will keep him from the knowledge of the thing described. And so it is necessary to draw and to describe."
