Implications of dual coding for information design

3 Factors for Processing Visual Information
Why some visualisations are more effective than others? Why some visualisations are still not universally understood if I have tested them with a big sample? How can designers improve the effectiveness of visualisations? Each person interprets visual information in a different way.

How can information design support sensemaking cognitive activities
Sometimes, making sense of data* can be challenging. Data is often perceived this way when a data set is too big or too complex. This indicates that size (small/big) and nature (simple/complex) are frequent issues that can influence the sensemaking process.
