+```
+
+## Visualization Design Process
+
+### **Phase 1: Information Architecture**
+```
+Content Prioritization:
+1. Critical Metrics: Most important KPIs and measures
+2. Supporting Context: Trends, comparisons, breakdowns
+3. Detailed Analysis: Drill-down data and specifics
+4. Navigation & Filters: User control elements
+
+Layout Strategy:
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ Header: Title, Key KPIs, Date Range     │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│ Primary Insight Area                    │
+│ ┌─────────────┐  ┌─────────────────────┐│
+│ │   Main      │  │   Supporting        ││
+│ │   Visual    │  │   Context           ││  
+│ │             │  │   (2-3 smaller      ││
+│ │             │  │    visuals)         ││
+│ └─────────────┘  └─────────────────────┘│
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│ Secondary Analysis (Details/Drill-down) │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│ Filters & Navigation Controls           │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### **Phase 2: Visual Design Specifications**
+
+#### **Color Strategy Design**
+```
+Semantic Color Mapping:
+- Green (#2E8B57): Positive performance, on-target, growth
+- Red (#DC143C): Negative performance, alerts, below-target
+- Blue (#4682B4): Neutral information, base metrics
+- Orange (#FF8C00): Warnings, attention needed
+- Gray (#708090): Inactive, reference, disabled states
+
+Accessibility Compliance:
+✅ Minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio for text
+✅ Colorblind-friendly palette (avoid red-green only distinctions)
+✅ Pattern and shape alternatives to color coding
+✅ High contrast mode compatibility
+✅ Alternative text for screen readers
+
+Brand Integration Guidelines:
+- Primary brand color for key metrics and headers
+- Secondary palette for data categorization
+- Neutral grays for backgrounds and borders
+- Accent colors for highlights and interactions
+```
+
+#### **Typography Hierarchy**
+```
+Text Size and Weight Guidelines:
+- Report Title: 20-24pt, Bold, Brand Font
+- Page Titles: 16-18pt, Semi-bold, Sans-serif
+- Section Headers: 14-16pt, Semi-bold
+- Visual Titles: 12-14pt, Medium weight
+- Data Labels: 10-12pt, Regular
+- Footnotes/Captions: 9-10pt, Light
+
+Readability Optimization:
+✅ Consistent font family (maximum 2 families)
+✅ Sufficient line spacing and letter spacing
+✅ Left-aligned text for body content
+✅ Centered alignment only for titles
+✅ Adequate white space around text elements
+```
+
+### **Phase 3: Interactive Design**
+
+#### **Navigation Design Patterns**
+```
+Tab Navigation:
+Best for: Related content areas, different time periods
+Implementation:
+- Clear tab labels (max 7 tabs)
+- Visual indication of active tab
+- Consistent content layout across tabs
+- Logical ordering by importance or workflow
+
+Drill-through Design:
+Best for: Detail exploration, context switching
+Implementation:
+- Clear visual cues for drill-through availability
+- Contextual page design with proper filtering
+- Back button for easy return navigation
+- Consistent styling between levels
+
+Button Navigation:
+Best for: Guided workflows, external links
+Implementation:  
+- Action-oriented button labels
+- Consistent styling and sizing
+- Appropriate visual hierarchy
+- Touch-friendly sizing (minimum 44px)
+```
+
+#### **Filter and Slicer Design**
+```
+Slicer Optimization:
+✅ Logical grouping and positioning
+✅ Search functionality for high-cardinality fields
+✅ Single vs. multi-select based on use case
+✅ Clear visual indication of applied filters
+✅ Reset/clear all options
+
+Filter Strategy:
+- Page-level filters for common scenarios
+- Visual-level filters for specific needs
+- Report-level filters for global constraints
+- Drill-through filters for detailed analysis
+```
+
+### **Phase 4: Mobile and Responsive Design**
+
+#### **Mobile Layout Strategy**
+```
+Mobile-First Considerations:
+- Portrait orientation as primary design
+- Touch-friendly interaction targets (44px minimum)
+- Simplified navigation with hamburger menus
+- Stacked layout instead of side-by-side
+- Larger fonts and increased spacing
+
+Responsive Visual Selection:
+Mobile-Friendly:
+✅ Card visuals for KPIs
+✅ Simple bar and column charts  
+✅ Line charts with minimal data points
+✅ Large gauge and KPI visuals
+
+Mobile-Challenging:
+❌ Dense matrices and tables
+❌ Complex scatter plots
+❌ Multi-series area charts
+❌ Small multiple visuals
+```
