Dan Brown has made a poster that describes techniques for representing sample data in interaction designs. The techniques discussed are:
- Using actual data
- Using dummy data invented by the designer
- Replacing data with variable names
- Illustrating data through repeated characters (such as 9 or X)
- Replacing data with Latin or Greek text
The poster outlines the pros and cons of each technique, how stakeholder might respond to them, and best practices.
