Manuel Lima’s 9 Directives Manifesto
Manuel Lima’s 9 Directives Manifesto:
- Form Follows Function: The main goal is to explain and provide insight, not just make things look pretty. Always start with a clear question.
- Interactivity is Key: Let people explore the data themselves—it makes learning more effective.
- Cite Your Source: Be transparent about where your data comes from.
- The Power of Narrative: People love stories! Use storytelling to make your data more engaging and memorable.
- Do Not Glorify Aesthetics: Looks are important, but clarity comes first. Don’t focus only on making things beautiful.
- Look for Relevancy: Ask yourself: Why does this data matter? If it’s not meaningful, don’t visualize it.
- Embrace Time: Time is tricky, but handling it well helps organize data and improve decision-making.
- Aspire for Knowledge: Good visualization turns information into knowledge and makes it easier to understand.
- Avoid Gratuitous Visualizations: Your visuals should help people understand, not create confusion. If it’s just for decoration, it’s not useful.

FEEDBACK
Week 3:
The Honey Bee Fun Facts poster serves as a great example—it groups
content effectively and follows Manuel Lima’s 9 Directives Manifesto.
You could redesign the Mooncake Calories poster with these principles in
mind.
Week 5:
Consider adding subheadings—UI/UX design typically includes a subtitle
when there is a heading. There is also empty space below your title, and
jumping straight into the content might feel confusing, as the first
row’s information is unclear.
For the layout, placing the mooncake types at the bottom would better
align with design principles. Regarding animation, you might consider
removing the tips section.
