As communicative data visualization matures as a field in the computer graphics era, it has broadened into adopting practices from related fields such as graphic design. Designers employ a combination of methods to create expressive data visualizations in static or animated forms. These methods, however, are mismatched with their creative practice (e.g. writing textual code), or lack in generative power (e.g. graphic design tools). This dissertation explores opportunities to design and implement data visualization authoring tools for graphics designers. The goal of this research is to broaden practice and participation in data visualization. This dissertation contributes two interactive systems, Data Illustrator and Data Animator, that provide graphic designers with an understandable, feasible, and effective method to author expressive data visualizations (without writing textual code). These systems augment interfaces and interactions from graphic design practices to support control over expressive frameworks for static and animated data graphics. I demonstrate each system\u0026rsquo;s expressivity with a variety of example data visualizations and their usability through re-creation studies with designers. Finally, I reflect on the assumptions, strengths, and limitations of our approach, and identify future research directions for communicative data visualization.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EZoom Meeting Invitation\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EJoin Zoom Meeting\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/79753853759?pwd=R1RUVmg4bUhrbklIOXFtRnlpSnlnUT09\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/79753853759?pwd=R1RUVmg4bUhrbklIOXFtRnlpSnlnUT09\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPasscode (if prompted): john\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMeeting ID: 797 5385 3759\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOne tap mobile\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E+13126266799,,79753853759#,,,,,,0#,,964223# US (Chicago)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E+16468769923,,79753853759#,,,,,,0#,,964223# US (New York)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDial by your location\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; +1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; +1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; +1 408 638 0968 US (San Jose)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMeeting ID: 797 5385 3759\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPasscode: 964223\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFind your local number: \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/u\/kbkJhSShkV\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/u\/kbkJhSShkV\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Augmenting Graphic Design Practices for Expressive Visualization Authoring"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2020-10-30 16:45:40","changed_gmt":"2020-10-30 16:45:40","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2020-11-10T16:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2020-11-10T18:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2020-11-10T18:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2020-11-10 21:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2020-11-10 23:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2020-11-10 23:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
