The Week in Vis: Week 9, March 13-17

by Mike Gleicher on March 10, 2017

Last week we talked about Color. And we could keep talking about color, but we won’t. It will probably keep coming up.

And we started on the first Design Challenge, including doing a little bit of design critique. The main thing is due this week.

This week, we’ll move on to considering interaction. For now, we’ll talk about interaction to understand what and why. The how is much harder, and is something we’ll come back to.

Note that the design challenge deadline (Tuesday) is a pretty hard deadline. If you don’t get your designs in on time, we won’t be able to send it out for peer critique. We’ll send things out for peer review later in the week, the reviews aren’t due until after break, but since the next Design Challenge will start immediately, you might want to get them done sooner rather than later.

  • Monday, March 13 – Lecture on Interaction. It’s best if you do (at least some of) Reading 9 before class. As usual, the initial posting for the discussion assignment (Assignment 9) is due.
  • Tuesday, March 14 – Design Challenge designs due. This is the main turnin for the assignment. (although, you still need to do peer reviews). Because of the timing of peer reviews, this deadline is hard – late assignments will be penalized.
  • Wednesday, March 15 – In Class Design Exercise – We’ll do a design problem in groups. Bring colored pencils/markers and paper. We might also do some more discussion of interaction.
  • Friday, March 17 – No class. It’s the day before break! I’ll have office hours if you want to come by and talk.
    Seek and Find 9 is due. Also, if you haven’t done the Mid-Semester Eval form, please do.
