If you are preparing visual material yourself, ensure that graphs and other figures are of high resolution. Where possible, produce images in a format that is scalable for different devices, such as smartphones, desktop and print (eg scalable vector graphics: .svg).

If a graphic or digital designer is producing your visual material, give them all your content in editable formats, such as scalable vector graphics (SVG), encapsulated postscript (EPS) or Adobe Illustrator (AI) files.

If the display is a data visualisation, provide your designer with the data that will underlie the graphic. Data should be provided in an editable and ‘open’ format, such as comma separated value (CSV) or Excel (XLS) spreadsheet. This will allow the designer to manipulate the data into a format that can be easily used by the graphing or design software that will produce your display.
