Abstract: 

> The structure of graphical space and the relations among
> graphical elements matter to what and how we present information and
> visualize data. Other design choices, such as issues of style, contribute
> to the overall expressive qualities of communicating data. This visual
> entanglement has an effect on our reception and interpretation of
> information. In this brief talk, Professor Meirelles will present a set of
> case studies to invite a conversation about the active role of design
> details in meaning-making.
