Abstract

Motivation -- In some situations EID's high-level visual design principles can be difficult to apply. A more concrete design methodology would make the framework more accessible for interface designers. Research approach -- Graphics research was reviewed across a number of fields. The Visualisation Reference Model was identified as a useful model that could be used alongside EID's visual design principles. A case study is used to demonstrate this approach. Findings/Design -- Supplementing a work domain analysis with a task analysis can reveal how information requirements are used. This allows data transformations and visual mapping to be carried out to generate visual components in an ecological interface design. Take away message -- Task analysis not only improves the quality of our information requirements, it can also inform the visual design process.
