Design For The Human Mind
From the category archives:
A caricature is defined as a portrait that exaggerates the essence of a person to create an easily identifiable visual likeness. The question is, why do we quickly recognize a well-drawn caricature of a famous person, even though it is clearly not accurate?
“If I get an email with words highlighted in red, I can’t see them.” “I couldn’t spot an orange laying in my lawn.” These are comments made by people with partial color blindness, the most common form of color vision deficiency.
One odd thing about our visual functioning is how the world around us seems stationary even though our eyes dart back and forth several times a second in order to see.
When you know how people understand graphics, yours will be more effective. That's why I wrote Visual Language For Designers. This website is an extension of my book. Hope you enjoy it!
