“…This article explores the theory and experiments behind graphic perception, which are relevant to understanding how visual complexity influences the interpretation and processing of information. Various types of visual representation can influence user understanding, which is relevant to understanding the Visual Complexity Effect [7], [8] it is importance of reducing visual complexity to improve data understanding. [9], [10] discusses visualization design methodologies and principles that can help reduce visual complexity to increase the effectiveness of data communication.…”

Visual Complexity Effect is a term used in psychology to describe how people react to complex visual information. Typically, the more complicated or complex the visual information, the more difficult it is for people to process and understand it. The effects of visual complexity can also affect reaction times, cognitive abilities, and decision making. In everyday life, data visualization and complex graphs can be a challenge for many people, especially if they are not used to that type of information. Therefore, graphic designers and application developers try to minimize visual complexity so that it can be understood and used easily by users.

“…I argue that maps are vivid through their cartographic design and through the emotions they evoke in their readers. The use of the visual variables (Bertin, 1983), interactive primitives (Roth, 2013), and dynamic variables (DiBiase et al, 1992), well known in cartographic literature, can influence the esthetics of the design and readers' reactions to the display. Through its potential to influence attitudes, vividness is also aligned with persuasiveness, a focus of some cartographic research in the late 1970s and early 1980s (Tyner, 1982) and again more recently (Muehlenhaus, 2012(Muehlenhaus, , 2013(Muehlenhaus, , 2014.…”

Cartographic content analysis of compelling climate change communication

Maps are a key way to communicate climate change. The goal of these maps is to make climate change relatable, tangible, and understandable. However, little research has assessed the content of these maps and the aspects of these maps which attract readers, reduce complexity, and make climate change tangible. One way to evaluate maps of climate change is through the concept of vividness, a term from the communication literature. This article examines the content and vividness of maps of climate change to answer the following: which media organizations publish these maps? What is the design and content of these maps? Did these maps convey climate change vividly? Using content analysis and multidimensional scaling (nMDS) this research showed that producers of climate change maps are often not the publishers of this same content. These maps primarily showed topics which were relevant to audiences in the United States. There was a wide variety of different cartographic designs used. And finally, maps were vivid when they employed the eight aspects of vividness presented in this paper: legend design, symbolization, layout, projections which were appropriate for the data, visual salience, visible change over time, color use which aligned with color connotations, and novel design styles.

The Internet (the net) and World Wide Web (the web) have grown rapidly in the past decade and have come to play a major role in supporting discourse and publication in scholarly communities. The development and application of new services has been very rapid with little central planning, and, despite the widespread use, there is little information as yet on the human factors of the use of the net and web. In particular, models of the human factors of individuals interacting with workstations have to be extended to take into account the essential social aspects of computer-mediated discourse and publication. This article provides a framework for analyzing the utility, usability and likeability of net and web services, and illustrates its application to significant aspects of supporting scholarly communities. The utility of the net and web are measured in terms of the growth of usage, and the different services involved are distinguished in terms of their specific utilities. A layered protocol model is used to model discourse through the net, and is extended to encompass interaction in communities. An operational criterion for distinguishing different communities is defined in terms of the types of awareness that resource providers and users have of one another. A temporal model of discourse processes is developed that enables the spectrum of services ranging from real-time discourse to long-term publication to be analyzed in a unified framework. The dimensions of awareness and time are used to characterize and compare the full range of net services, and model their unification through the next generation of web browsers.
