Abstract
This paper presents a design study that elucidates the process of creating an engaging visualisation poster using U.S. immigration data as the focal point. The primary objective is to demonstrate the methodical journey of crafting a compelling story from raw data and effectively portraying it in a poster format. In the process, we manoeuvre through varied tactics of data display, visualisation tool implementation, and poster presentation. As a case study, we offer three important reflective insights that underscore our experience constructing such a poster, which is a practical guide for individuals pursuing similar endeavours. Key considerations underpinning this guide include prioritising a 'big hero' visualisation, ensuring a coherent narrative flow through the poster, and attentively curating the meta information to provide the necessary context, enabling the poster to communicate its message independently.
