abstract = {We present the results from a pilot study that evaluates the
effectiveness of 2D visualization methods in terms of a set of
design factors, which are subjectively rated by expert visual
designers. In collaboration with educators from the Illustration
Department at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), we have
defined a space of visualization methods using basic visual
elements including icon hue, icon size, icon density, and
background saturation (see Figure 1). In this initial pilot study
we presented our subjects with single variable visualization
methods. The results characterize the effectiveness of individual
visual elements according to our design factors. We are beginning
to test these results by creating two-variable visualizations and
studying how the different visual elements interact.},
