NordDesign 2020
The NordDesign conferences serve as a Nordic complement to the larger international conferences in design and product development, but we also wish to welcome participants from all other countries.
Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Information visualisations, such as diagrams and charts, support analysis of large amounts of information. While there exist various information visualisations for decision support in product development, they are often being created in an ad-hoc manner. In this paper, we examine whether certain types of information visualisations facilitate understanding of characteristic features of systems, such as hierarchy, relationships, patterns and processes. Results from our study suggest that information visualisations are recognised as representing the aforementioned characteristic system features.
