50 Unified theories of visual representation

51 Graphic Resources Correspondence Design Uses Marks Shape Orientation Size Texture Saturation Colour Line Literal (visual imitation of physical features) Mapping (quantity, relative scale) Conventional (arbitrary) Mark position, identify category (shape, texture colour) Indicate direction (orientation, line) Express magnitude (saturation, size, length) Simple symbols and colour codes Symbols Geometric elements Letter forms Logos and icons Picture elements Connective elements Topological (linking) Depictive (pictorial conventions) Figurative (metonym, visual puns) Connotative (professional and cultural association) Acquired (specialist literacies) Texts and symbolic calculi Diagram elements Branding Visual rhetoric Definition of regions Regions Alignment grids Borders and frames Area fills White space Gestalt integration Containment Separation Framing (composition, photography) Layering Identifying shared membership Segregating or nesting multiple surface conventions in panels Accommodating labels, captions or legends Surfaces The plane Material object on which the marks are imposed (paper, stone) Mounting, orientation and display context Display medium Literal (map) Euclidean (scale and angle) Metrical (quantitative axes) Juxtaposed or ordered (regions, catalogues) Image-schematic Embodied/situated Typographic layouts Graphs and charts Relational diagrams Visual interfaces Secondary notations Signs and displays
