NNGroup Visual Reference Gallery Index (Chart 80 + UX Research Visualization Examples)

Index pointers to two pure image asset libraries under NNGroup Topics. Chart 80 = 83 chart design examples (for selecting chart types / data visualization reference). UX Research Visualization = 178 UX research outcome visualization examples (journey maps / empathy maps / affinity diagrams / research report layouts, etc.) + 3 PDF + 1 pptx + 1 xlsx templates. These two folders contain no text notes; they are "copy-ready" visual references collected by Will, intended for viewing images only. This wiki does not reproduce the images (the image volume is large, so they are excluded via gitignore and kept locally); it only records what they are, where they are in sources, and when to refer to them. For supporting chart selection / data visualization methodology, see [[nngroup-patterns-feedback-dialogs]] (selecting chart types) and [[nngroup-visual-design-principles]].

These two folders were collected by Will as pure visual asset libraries —— there are no text notes, just a pile of example images that are "good-looking/useful and worth copying". They are not suitable for being written into a text wiki (the content is the images themselves), so this page only serves as an index: telling you what is available, where they are stored, and when to come look them up. The image volume is large, so per kb rules they are kept locally via gitignore,browse the sources directory directly with Obsidian / Finder.

Why images are not reproduced: this is an asset library for "looking at images for inspiration", not knowledge that "you don't need to revisit after reading". A text wiki cannot replace the visual references themselves; forcibly describing each image would both lose authentic information and provide no value. It is most efficient to view the original images directly when needed.

Sourced from NNGroup Topics / Chart 80 (83 png files) + UX Research Visualization (178 png files + 6 attachments). Pure image library, index_only.
