We summarize the motivation, the approach, and the significance of a thesis that is concerned with automating the design of visual discourse. To synthesize effective visual discourse, three design criteria are used: coherence, versatility, and interactivity. The thesis focuses on finding comprehensive and systematic methodologies that meet these criteria, and on developing practical ways to implement visual discourse synthesis systems.
