How Clear Are Your Trial Graphics?

When it comes to litigation visuals, clarity is key. At Huseby, our graphic designers don't just create visuals to inform—they create them to persuade. But can you tell the difference between a graphic that struggles to communicate and one that is structured for impact?

The Value of Persuasive Trial Graphics

In high-stakes litigation, the ability to present complex information in a clear, compelling way can make all the difference. Well-designed trial graphics enhance understanding, strengthen arguments, and leave a lasting impression on judges and juries. At Huseby's Digital Evidence Group (DEG), we specialize in transforming raw data and legal arguments into persuasive visuals that bring your case to life.

Transforming Complex Information into Persuasive Narratives

In our DEG ReDUX series, we take difficult-to-understand graphics and transform them into compelling visual narratives that resonate with judges and juries. Each ReDUX graphic follows a meticulous process, ensuring that the information presented is both clear and persuasive.

Take a look at this week's featured transformation, where we analyze an original graphic, annotate its areas for improvement, and redesign it to maximize its persuasive power. See the before-and-after comparison.

The ReDUX Process: What Sets It Apart?

The DEG litigation graphics team has a singular goal: crafting persuasive trial graphics. The ReDUX series was born in 2019 after our team encountered a poorly designed graphic in The Wall Street Journal and discussed how we would have approached it differently. Since then, we've reimagined dozens of graphics, adhering to a few core tenets:

• Accuracy and Clarity: We use the exact data from the original graphic. The goal isn’t just to present numbers but to enhance their effectiveness through visual persuasion.
• Neutrality: Our ReDUX graphics remain non-political. We focus solely on the art of impactful design.
• Purpose-Driven Design: Aesthetics are only critiqued when they hinder clarity. Sometimes, we retain the original look and feel to highlight how information structure—not just visual appeal—can be the main issue.

Why Choose Digital Evidence Group for Your Trial Graphics?

DEG has built a reputation for excellence in litigation support, providing innovative demonstratives that clarify complex information and drive home key arguments. Our expert designers work closely with attorneys to ensure every visual element aligns with case strategy, maximizing impact and persuasiveness in the courtroom.
