Graphic Layout Proportion

Center focus alignment is most Powerful but beware

of poor division of

information because it can cause disruption in

reading

Division of Information

But beware! Center Focus Alignment is NOT good for multiple layer or long presentations. Center Focus tends to imply “self-containment”, thus implying “the end”. It is most effective when designing a “one-off” visual, like a poster. For longer information, if it must be symmetrical, a better layout would be the Forced Justify.

However, the Forced Justify_alignment_is very difficult to control, as you may

find_funny_gaps_in_between text that cannot be controlled.

ThereforeLeft Justified TextThe most common solution when needing to present long or sequential information, is to left justify the text. This way, the audience can “read” in a conventional manner, and pace their understanding based on syntax.

Oncein a blue moon

You may want to experimentwith right justification

as this techniqueinvites opinion

“Attribution Theory: We make attributions to information that seems to stand out abnormal in

the context”

Hilton and Slugoski (1986).

Consistency“Keep the layout of pages consistent - inconsistencies force people to spend extra time trying to figure out how to navigate or focus - it increases cognitive overhead”

Norman, D. (1988) The design of everyday things. New York, NY: Doubleday.

ConsistencyTechniqueTry not to mix techniques too much as it is more effective to stick to one focus point

ConsistencySequential FocusRe-focusing on a different technique takes up too much concentration time

ConsistencyEmphasisRepetition of visual consistencies creates emphasis without needing to change font size or colour or utilize any other techniques

Simplicityis the best policy

“Superfluous graphics can interfere with understanding”

Anglin, G., Towers, R., & Levie, H. (1996). Visual message design and learning: The role of static and dynamic illustrations. In D.H. Jonassen (Ed.), Handbook of Research for Educational Communications and Technology . New York: Simon and Schuster Macmillan.

Graphicsfour functions:

Levie, W.H. & Lentz, R. (1982). Effects of text illustrations: A review of research. Educational Communications and Technology Journal, 30 (4), 195-232.

attention pictures or graphics attract attention to the material or direct attention within the material

affective pictures enhance enjoyment or affect emotions and attitudes

cognitivepictures increase comprehension to improve recollection and retention, or to provide information that is not otherwise available

compensatory helping poor readers by adding pictorial clues to decode text

Issues to consider in Graphics:

Misanchuk, E., Schwier, R. & Boling, E. (in press). Visual design for instructional multimedia

Germaneness

An essential picture which cannot be removed without harming comprehension

Realism Simplified drawings are better instructional aids since they focus attention on the salient points under construction

Complexity Graphics should be as simple as possible and complexity should be added only where absolutely required

Size Larger pictures have more impact however, it is necessary to balance the need to have a graphic which is large with technical limitations, such as download time or computer capacity

Culture Users from other cultures may be offended by certain colors/graphics

TextShould also be simple

“An overabundance of fonts or colors can distract rather than assist learning”

Levie, W.H. & Lentz, R. (1982). Effects of text illustrations: A review of research. Educational Communications and Technology Journal, 30 (4), 195-232.

Respondents were asked their likelihood of participating in LES renewable energy program based on several price thresholds

Likelihood of participating in the LES local solar project decreases rapidly as monthly rates increase

Key Results: Higher bills = lower participation

60.7% indicate at least some likelihood to participate when bills increase less than $3 per month

47.4% were Very Likely to participate Very little

likelihood of participating at $13 level
