a very interesting idea of grouping together all sorts of visualization methods, that can help one get the right graph for the weirdest projects, offering visual solutions from the concept to the strategy visualization, all the way through the easiest and most complicated sets of levels and arrows. well, see for yourselves!
i am not sure how they got to this order, and if the table may absorb other methods, but it's for sure a good starting point for anyone looking for inspiration.
actually this is not the only thing that visual literacy offers, because they also provide online courses for understanding and creating visualization methods.

Visualization tools tend to be too complex and take the focus out of your project to the tool itself.
I somehow prefer white board to sketch projects especialy in the design phase, rather than using such tools.
However, for large and complex projects, msvisio and its friends make good graphical documentation (wich I prefer over long text noone ever read)
Have you had a look at MITs white board ?

that's an interesting one!
but i think that specific visualization methods fit to specific projects.
in that movie on youtube, the method the guy uses is compatible with his intention of presenting in a flexible way an experimet that would otherwise would be impossible to be presented on paper. so it is indeed a good visualization method for that purpose.
but what happens if one shifts the system, and moves into the field of social problems or management for instance, where "active" sketching like the one in the movie is not available anymore?
i do believe that there are very uselful ways of visually interpreting data, which really do help the understanding of processes and results.
i take as an example the mapping of the virtual world: it also uses visualization methods that put light on relations between users that can't be seen at all without these interpretative methods, and would never be discovered in their absence either.
Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the TV de Plasma, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://tv-de-plasma.blogspot.com. A hug.
