DD 7 - Graphics

A few of the highlights in this chapter on Graphics are: 


When used effectively, Graphics impact the user by providing information, and depending on the goal of the client, it may even persuade the user to buy a product. 


The authors write that "One of the most challenging aspects of communicating through Graphics is to present a clear and accurate idea of the information or ideas." In order to do that, the designer must know the user well and use the principles of similarity, contrast, alignment, proximity, order, and enclosure.


The chapter also discusses the importance of ethics in creating Graphics that don't "mislead users with graphics, whether intentionally or unintentionally."
