Isabel Meirelles: "Communicating data: design details that matter"

Abstract: The structure of graphical space and the relations among graphical elements matter to what and how we present information and visualize data. Other design choices, such as issues of style, contribute to the overall expressive qualities of communicating data. This visual entanglement has an effect on our reception and interpretation of information. In this brief talk, Professor Meirelles will present a set of case studies to invite a conversation about the active role of design details in meaning-making.
