The 1st chapter of Meirelles’ Design for Information was an interesting Chapter leading into Structures and visual hierarchies. It clarified aspects of the class presentation and went more in depth on the subtle aspects overall: the reading and the presentation complemented each other well. The visual charts that showed different ways of nesting/tree setups were actually pretty useful in helping me see how data can be presented. Another thing that was important was the use of different visual tricks like size, color, or fonts to express a hierarchy in the information that grabs your attention and points you to the important information very much like how someone would use it in a poster in graphic design. I feel this exemplifies how these skills can be used in many different ways not just in posters and in graphs but in any field where you have to display information.
