The Visual Elements¿Abstraction (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

For anyone interested in visual communication, a training guide for evaluating and developing visual representations for the big ideas in science and technology, essential skills for journal submissions, grant applications, and public understanding.

>Like in her other books in the Visual Elements series, on photography and design, Frankel asks readers to evaluate different choices--for example, in conveying the uncertainty of a hurricane's path or the organization of the Standard Model for elementary particles. But in Abstraction, she offers more. With examples from science, engineering, and beyond, the book helps readers consider and evaluate the visuals around them and determine how they work and when they fail: Is this representation the best for communication? Will these abstractions encourage others to engage with my work? Will they mislead? Will they help my ideas evolve? Frankel invites researchers to think about the many meanings behind their images--and, in turn, to think more deeply about their research.
