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. . 606 $aComputers 606 $aApplication software 606 $aComputer mathematics 606 $aMultimedia systems  606 $aInformation Systems and Communication Service$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18008 606 $aComputer Applications$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I23001 606 $aComputational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M1400X 606 $aMedia Design$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I25004 606 $aComputing Milieux$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I24008 615 0$aComputers. 615 0$aApplication software. 615 0$aComputer mathematics. 615 0$aMultimedia systems . 615 14$aInformation Systems and Communication Service. 615 24$aComputer Applications. 615 24$aComputational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis. 615 24$aMedia Design. 615 24$aComputing Milieux. 676 $a006.6 700 $aSpence$b Robert$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0339761 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298990803321 996 $aInformation visualization$91072312 997 $aUNINA
