Infographics tailored with patients’ own health data are increasingly being used to support comprehension of health status, particularly among patients with limited health literacy. However, best practices for this type of health communication are still emerging and little is known about how some types of health data can be optimally displayed. We used an iterative participatory design process to design tailored infographics to present subjective and objective measures of asthma control status to adult patients in English and Spanish. Here, we document our design journey, reporting on the rationale for our design choices and the successes and lessons learned during the project.

Abstract There are situations where designs involve bilingual content. In such cases, to convey clear and consistent messages, we need to select typefaces in two languages. Traditionally, designers relied on their intuition and experience when selecting typefaces. This study, however, uses analytical research to explore the possibility of using data to inform designs and to make appropriate typeface selections in bilingual contexts. It collects and analyses participants’ responses toward sample typefaces and uses them to choose typefaces in two languages simultaneously, English and Chinese. This method is shown to be effective; it breaks language barriers and explores an original and efficient approach to typeface selection.

Readability formulas are used to assess the level of difficulty of a text. These language dependent formulas are introduced with pre-defined parameters. Deep reinforcement learning models can be used for parameter optimization. In this article we argue that an Actor-Critic based model can be used to optimize the parameters in the readability formulas. Furthermore, a selection model is proposed for selecting the most suitable formula to assess the readability of the input text. English and Persian data sets are used for both training and testing. The experimental results of the parameter optimization model show that, on average, the F-score of the model for English increases from 24.7% in the baseline to 38.8%, and for Persian from 23.5% to 47.7%. The proposed algorithm selection model further improves the parameter optimization model to 65.5% based on F-score for both English and Persian.

Electronic documentation is gaining importance in aviation and medicine. However, the literature on typographic conventions is rather scattered. Therefore, this systematic literature review examined the landscape of literature addressing typography in electronic documentation in aviation and medicine. The research examined the presence of typographic considerations, level of depth, choice of medium and documentation examples. The results demonstrate that out of 65 publications, 35 address typography in varying depth and often rely on inherited misconceptions. Typographic conventions are transferred from physical to electronic mediums without questioning and remain undervalued. These findings highlight the need for improved legibility in electronic documentation.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of China’s high-speed railway map’s color system based on color design principles in information design. Various design limitations of the color system were identified and analyzed. A new color system which enhanced the legibility of the map was re-coded and was considered satisfactory in the usability test. The research explores the effect of colors in map design and provides valuable color-coding guidance, which may be applied to map design and to the design of other information materials. The color evaluation, re-coding and usability test methods may bring practical insights for information designers and color design researchers.
