SummaryEmpirical study of how data artists develop creative visualizations through three studies: 40 project analyses, interviews with seven artists, and a design task with eight artists. Stories and forms co-evolve via exploration, reference adaptation, sketching, and prototyping. Alternatives are costly, so designers typically pursue one direction.
Why it mattersMulti-method qualitative study documents actual creative workflow of data artists, with implications for AI-assisted design tools that preserve designer judgment.
