从需求出发的信息可视化设计方法研究

目的在数据来源繁杂、数据量巨大的的情况下,从信息设计的角度探索提高信息可视化设计质量的方法。方法分析笔者在执行几个信息可视化设计项目过程中应用到的用户研究以及交互设计相关理论,以及具体应用这些理论的方法。对基于用户需求的可视化设计流程和执行方法进行总结。结果提出关注信息传达本身、根据应用场景来设计心理模型与信息架构、对数据进行观点挖掘这几个方面来优化设计策略。结论信息可视化应逐渐从关注技术转变到关注使用者的需求本身,这个需求才是数据成为有价值的信息的关键。

Information Visualization Design Methods Based on Needs

It intended to find the solution to improve the quality of information visualization design target on complex data sources and huge amount of data. It analyzes several cases of information visualization design projects, by applications of user research and interaction design theory. It summarizes the process flow and implementation methods of information visualization design based on user requirements. It provides optimal strategies for information visualization such as concerning with the information transmission itself, according to the application scenarios to design the mental model and information architecture and mining opinions from the data. Information visualization should be more focus on the needs of users other then technologies, which is the key to make the data being valuable.
