• Information can be presented in visual way. We have to make sure that our information is not misleading and making a student to construct misconceptions. We have to maximize amount of information that is communicated.
• We need to comprehend that information for transfering the text to visual.
• The main ideas from the original text and the designer's cognitive and interpretative abilities.
• The process of transforming that information from text to visual representation can be understood as high level information work.
• Reflection: I was impressed by these five visual displays with the high-quality illustrations. When taking a closer look at them, I discovered the new visualization techniques. They help me to get a deeper understanding of the visual presentation and how to emphasize the “message”.
• Reference: I am impressed by "Visuals can communicate complex ideas with clarity, precision, efficiency and convey the most knowledge in the shortest time in the small space.” Tufte (1983)
