THE FUNCTIONAL ART: THE EYE AND VISUAL BRAIN


THE FUNCTIONAL ART: THE EYE AND VISUAL BRAIN AND VISUALIZING FOR THE MIND
Due to the inherent characteristics of human brain structure, visual works should also be designed with full consideration, such as:

Avoid using area charts for comparison
When making comparison graphs, nonlinear visual elements should be considered when the differences are not obvious
When choosing multiple colors for visual coding, the differences should be large enough
When humans see a picture, they first simplify it into a whole and then refine it to each part. Instead of identifying the parts first and then stitching them together as a whole.

I think the visual data should be based on the characteristics of the human brain and eye to capture the key points, and the following characteristics should be obtained

Intimacy (where related information is physically put together, whereas less relevant information is separated by means of blanks, etc.)
Align (align elements horizontally and vertically for visual recognition)
Repeat (repeat a pattern, such as the color of title 1, the color of title 2, etc., to be repeated and consistent)

The human brain likes different things. Different colors, shapes, and lengths on the same piece of paper stimulate the brain.

Since I am an MPA student, I want to share a sentence here: visualization is not limited to Numbers, but also concepts, such as the political spectrum. I tried to incorporate political tendencies into the chart and show how they permeate society and culture from the government, affecting families and individuals and, in turn, politics.

I think data visualization is not simply about turning data into charts. It's about looking at the world through data. In other words, the object of data visualization is data, but what we want is actually -- data vision, data as a tool, visualization as a means to describe reality and explore the world. Data visualization aims to convey and communicate information clearly and effectively by means of graphics. But that doesn't mean that data visualization must be tedious to achieve its functional purpose, or extremely complex to look colorful. In order to effectively convey ideas and concepts, aesthetic form and function need to go hand in hand and achieve deep insight into relatively sparse and complex data sets by visually conveying key aspects and features. However, designers often fail to strike a good balance between design and function, thus creating flashy data visualizations that don't serve their main purpose. First, data visualization is the evolution

Data visualization mainly relies on graphical means to convey and communicate information clearly and effectively. But that doesn't mean that data visualization must be tedious to achieve its functional purpose, or extremely complex to look colorful. In order to effectively convey ideas and concepts, aesthetic form and function need to go hand in hand and achieve deep insight into relatively sparse and complex data sets by visually conveying key aspects and features. However, designers often fail to strike a good balance between design and function, thus creating gaudy forms of data visualization that fail to achieve their main purpose, i.e. to convey and communicate information. Data visualization is closely related to information graphics, information visualization, scientific visualization and statistical graphics. Currently, data visualization is a very active and critical aspect in research, teaching and development. The term "data visualization" achieves the uni

MALOFIEJ 20 "We have lost some of our finest sons and daughters in the fight against terrorism, The best way to honor these fallen is to see this mission through, and to lay the foundations for peace by promoting freedom. From the beginning of 2003 to the end of 2011, the nearly nine-year war in Iraq can be divided into two stages, namely the early stage of a brief large-scale operation phase and the middle and late stage of a long stable operation phase. Former U.S. defense secretary Donald rumsfeld has said that the main goals of the war in Iraq include removing saddam hussein's dictatorship and helping the Iraqi people build a free and democratic regime. The second is to search for and destroy weapons of mass destruction hidden in Iraq and eliminate terrorists. Third, ending dictatorship and providing humanitarian assistance; Fourth, protect Iraqi oil and other natural resources.
