Everyone benefits from information visualization, whether internet shopping, investigating fraud or indulging an interest in art. So no assumptions are made about specialist background knowledge in, for example, computer science, mathematics, programming or human cognition.  Indeed, the book is directed at two main audiences. One comprises first year students of any discipline. The other comprises graduates – again of any discipline – who are taking a one- or two-year course of training to be visual and interaction designers. By focusing on the activity of design the pedagogical approach adopted by the book is based on the view that the best way to learn about the subject is to do it, to be creative: not to prepare for the ubiquitous examination paper.  The content of the book, and the associated exercises, are typically used to support five creative design exercises, the final one being a group project mirroring the activity of a consultancy undertaking a design (not an implementation) for a client. Engagement with the material of this book can have a variety of outcomes. The composer of a school newsletter and the applicant for a multi-million investment should both be able to convey their message mor e effectively, and the curator of an exhibition will have new presentational techniques on their palette.  For those students training to be visual/interaction designers the exercises have led to original and stimulating outcomes. .ComputersApplication softwareComputer mathematicsMultimedia systems Information Systems and Communication Servicehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18008Computer Applicationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I23001Computational Mathematics and Numerical Analysishttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M1400XMedia Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I25004Computing Milieuxhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I24008Computers.Application software.Computer mathematics.Multimedia systems .Information Systems and Communication Service.Computer Applications.Computational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis.Media Design.Computing Milieux.006.6Spence Robertauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut339761MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298990803321Information visualization1072312UNINA
