Discover Materials Infographic Challenge
Website: www.discovermaterials.uk Twitter: @DiscovMaterials Instagram: @discovermaterials Email: [email protected] Discover Materials Infographic Challenge The Challenge: We would like you to produce an infographic that highlights and explores a material that has been important to you during the pandemic. We will be awarding prizes for the top two infographics based upon the following criteria: visual appeal content (facts/depth/breadth) range of sources Entries must be submitted to: [email protected] by 9pm (BST) on Sunday 2nd August and submitted as a picture file. Please include your name, as the author of the infographic, within the image. In submitting the infographic to be judged, you are agreeing that the graphic can be shared by Discover Materials more widely. Introduction: An infographic provides us with a short, interesting and timely manner to communicate a complex idea with the wider public. An important aspect of using an infographic is that our target is to make something with high shareability and this can be achieved by telling a good story with a design that conveys data in a manner that is easily interpreted, as highlighted in Figure 1. In this challenge we want you to consider a material that has been important in the pandemic. There are a huge range of materials that have been vitally important to us all during these chaotic and challenging times. We could imagine materials that have been important in personal protection & healthcare, materials that Figure 1: The overlapping aspects of a good infographic enable our new forms of engagement and https://www.flickr.com/photos/dashburst/8448339735 communication in the digital world, or the ‘day- to-day’ materials that we rely upon and without which we would find modern life incredibly difficult. -
Visual Literacy of Infographic Review in Dkv Students’ Works in Bina Nusantara University
VISUAL LITERACY OF INFOGRAPHIC REVIEW IN DKV STUDENTS’ WORKS IN BINA NUSANTARA UNIVERSITY Suprayitno School of Design New Media Department, Bina Nusantara University Jl. K. H. Syahdan, No. 9, Palmerah, Jakarta 11480, Indonesia [email protected] ABSTRACT This research aimed to provide theoretical benefits for students, practitioners of infographics as the enrichment, especially for Desain Komunikasi Visual (DKV - Visual Communication Design) courses and solve the occurring visual problems. Theories related to infographic problems were used to analyze the examples of the student's infographic work. Moreover, the qualitative method was used for data collection in the form of literature study, observation, and documentation. The results of this research show that in general the students are less precise in the selection and usage of visual literacy elements, and the hierarchy is not good. Thus, it reduces the clarity and effectiveness of the infographic function. This is the urgency of this study about how to formulate a pattern or formula in making a work that is not only good and beautiful but also is smart, creative, and informative. Keywords: visual literacy, infographic elements, Visual Communication Design, DKV INTRODUCTION Desain Komunikasi Visual (DKV - Visual Communication Design) is a term portrayal of the process of media in communicating an idea or delivery of information that can be read or seen. DKV is related to the use of signs, images, symbols, typography, illustrations, and color. Those are all related to the sense of sight. In here, the process of communication can be through the exploration of ideas with the addition of images in the form of photos, diagrams, illustrations, and colors. -
Maps and Diagrams. Their Compilation and Construction

Graph Visualization and Navigation in Information Visualization 1
HERMAN ET AL.: GRAPH VISUALIZATION AND NAVIGATION IN INFORMATION VISUALIZATION 1 Graph Visualization and Navigation in Information Visualization: a Survey Ivan Herman, Member, IEEE CS Society, Guy Melançon, and M. Scott Marshall Abstract—This is a survey on graph visualization and navigation techniques, as used in information visualization. Graphs appear in numerous applications such as web browsing, state–transition diagrams, and data structures. The ability to visualize and to navigate in these potentially large, abstract graphs is often a crucial part of an application. Information visualization has specific requirements, which means that this survey approaches the results of traditional graph drawing from a different perspective. Index Terms—Information visualization, graph visualization, graph drawing, navigation, focus+context, fish–eye, clustering. involved in graph visualization: “Where am I?” “Where is the 1 Introduction file that I'm looking for?” Other familiar types of graphs lthough the visualization of graphs is the subject of this include the hierarchy illustrated in an organisational chart and Asurvey, it is not about graph drawing in general. taxonomies that portray the relations between species.

Toward Unified Models in User-Centered and Object-Oriented
CHAPTER 9 Toward Unified Models in User-Centered and Object-Oriented Design William Hudson Abstract Many members of the HCI community view user-centered design, with its focus on users and their tasks, as essential to the construction of usable user inter- faces. However, UCD and object-oriented design continue to develop along separate paths, with very little common ground and substantially different activ- ities and notations. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has become the de facto language of object-oriented development, and an informal method has evolved around it. While parts of the UML notation have been embraced in user-centered methods, such as those in this volume, there has been no con- certed effort to adapt user-centered design techniques to UML and vice versa. This chapter explores many of the issues involved in bringing user-centered design and UML closer together. It presents a survey of user-centered tech- niques employed by usability professionals, provides an overview of a number of commercially based user-centered methods, and discusses the application of UML notation to user-centered design. Also, since the informal UML method is use case driven and many user-centered design methods rely on scenarios, a unifying approach to use cases and scenarios is included. 9.1 Introduction 9.1.1 Why Bring User-Centered Design to UML? A recent survey of software methods and techniques [Wieringa 1998] found that at least 19 object-oriented methods had been published in book form since 1988, and many more had been published in conference and journal papers. This situation led to a great 313 314 | CHAPTER 9 Toward Unified Models in User-Centered and Object-Oriented Design deal of division in the object-oriented community and caused numerous problems for anyone considering a move toward object technology. -
Infovis and Statistical Graphics: Different Goals, Different Looks1
Infovis and Statistical Graphics: Different Goals, Different Looks1 Andrew Gelman2 and Antony Unwin3 20 Jan 2012 Abstract. The importance of graphical displays in statistical practice has been recognized sporadically in the statistical literature over the past century, with wider awareness following Tukey’s Exploratory Data Analysis (1977) and Tufte’s books in the succeeding decades. But statistical graphics still occupies an awkward in-between position: Within statistics, exploratory and graphical methods represent a minor subfield and are not well- integrated with larger themes of modeling and inference. Outside of statistics, infographics (also called information visualization or Infovis) is huge, but their purveyors and enthusiasts appear largely to be uninterested in statistical principles. We present here a set of goals for graphical displays discussed primarily from the statistical point of view and discuss some inherent contradictions in these goals that may be impeding communication between the fields of statistics and Infovis. One of our constructive suggestions, to Infovis practitioners and statisticians alike, is to try not to cram into a single graph what can be better displayed in two or more. We recognize that we offer only one perspective and intend this article to be a starting point for a wide-ranging discussion among graphics designers, statisticians, and users of statistical methods. The purpose of this article is not to criticize but to explore the different goals that lead researchers in different fields to value different aspects of data visualization. Recent decades have seen huge progress in statistical modeling and computing, with statisticians in friendly competition with researchers in applied fields such as psychometrics, econometrics, and more recently machine learning and “data science.” But the field of statistical graphics has suffered relative neglect. -

How Neurons Exploit Fractal Geometry to Optimize Their Network Connectivity Julian H
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN How neurons exploit fractal geometry to optimize their network connectivity Julian H. Smith1,5, Conor Rowland1,5, B. Harland2, S. Moslehi1, R. D. Montgomery1, K. Schobert1, W. J. Watterson1, J. Dalrymple‑Alford3,4 & R. P. Taylor1* We investigate the degree to which neurons are fractal, the origin of this fractality, and its impact on functionality. By analyzing three‑dimensional images of rat neurons, we show the way their dendrites fork and weave through space is unexpectedly important for generating fractal‑like behavior well‑ described by an ‘efective’ fractal dimension D. This discovery motivated us to create distorted neuron models by modifying the dendritic patterns, so generating neurons across wide ranges of D extending beyond their natural values. By charting the D‑dependent variations in inter‑neuron connectivity along with the associated costs, we propose that their D values refect a network cooperation that optimizes these constraints. We discuss the implications for healthy and pathological neurons, and for connecting neurons to medical implants. Our automated approach also facilitates insights relating form and function, applicable to individual neurons and their networks, providing a crucial tool for addressing massive data collection projects (e.g. connectomes). Many of nature’s fractal objects beneft from the favorable functionality that results from their pattern repeti- tion at multiple scales 1–3. Anatomical examples include cardiovascular and respiratory systems4 such as the bronchial tree5 while examples from natural scenery include coastlines 6, lightning7, rivers8, and trees9,10. Along with trees, neurons are considered to be a prevalent form of fractal branching behavior11.
