possible steps
[5] [1] [6] [2]
Composing the main architecture of the visualization Positioning singular elements within the main framework.

Labeling and Identifying elements Supplementing the greater story through the addition of minor or tangental tales elements

[7] [3] [4]

Constructing shaped elements of dimensionality and form Elucidating internal relationships between elements. (if any)

Providing small visual explanations such as a legend or key

[8]

Fine-tuning and stylizing of elements shapes, colors, and weights to make hierarchies pop out.
