Turn research into an visual summary
Visual summaries are the format we typically recommend for researchers who have qualitative data to work with.
In essence, they are a blend between text and visuals to support that text and bring it to life.
A visual summary is for you if…
- Your research contains qualitative data
- Your findings can be presented in a creative way
- Your findings can be communicated visually
Overall, the visual summary is less data heavy and more focused on the text and the narrative, with the visuals occupying more of a supporting role to stimulate the reader and keep them engaged. Use it to engage with policymakers, government bodies, end users, industry representatives and the media.
The visual summary is perfect dissemination tool for your qualitative research
A visual summary is a visual document that displays your research findings in a clear and appealing way.
Visual summaries are one of our most popular visual products. They make you stand out from the crowd and are a fantastic dissemination tool. You will always leave a copy of your visual summary behind when you meet stakeholders interested in your research or send it as an attachment in an email before a meeting or conference call.
Examples of visual summaries
Our process to turn research into a visual summary
A document that makes your narrative shine
Clear and concise, our visual summaries help you communicate your research or evaluation in a way that’s engaging and accessible to audiences inside and outside academia.
1. Briefing
You complete a short briefing document to guide the process, and we hold a 45-minute call to understand your project, audience, key messages and the goal of the visual summary.
2. Editorial
You provide draft content to be edited. We shape this into a clear, concise narrative, working closely with you to refine and strengthen your message.
3. Design
We turn the content into a visually engaging, easy-to-navigate document. We either apply your brand or create a custom style for the piece. You’ll be involved throughout to ensure the design reflects your goals.
4. Delivery
We finalise your summary and send a high-quality digital PDF. See optional add-ons below, such as prints or a LinkedIn launch carousel.
