On Monday, April 30, we’ll talk about some of the basic elements of visual design.
To prepare for this, please read:
- Some excerpts from The Non-Designer’s Design Book, by Robin Williams (here)
- Some excepts from Design Basics Index, by Jim Krause (here)
And, (optionally) look through this excerpt from a typography book that explores design principles as they apply to typography.
- Logo, Font & Lettering Bible, by Leslie Carbarga (here)
After the lecture on Monday (but before Wednesday, May 2nd), on the Piazza page, please consider:
Now that you’ve learned about some of the heuristics used by designers to
create and to evaluate designs, how useful do you think these might be
when applied to visualization?Do you see any parallels to what we’ve already discussed in class?
Does reading about these from the point of view of a designer change
the way that you think about the things that we’ve covered?
