Reflection of Second Lesson

Feedback of Second Lesson

I agree with following key points came from Tufte(1983) and Lester(2000):

• Well designed graphics are far more effective than words.
• Visuals are instruments that help people to reason about information.
• Produce powerful pictures so that viewers can remember their content.
• Analyzing images makes you take long careful look. First image becomes part of your general knowledge. The more you know the more you see.

Types of visuals can be :

• Photorealistic images
• Paintings and drawings
• Caricatures, cartoons, abstract art, etc
• Symbols and icons
• Mindmaps
