Visualizing Systems & Processes
INFO VISUALIZATION: Lately I've been doing a lot of interaction modeling and web-based information system design for an upcoming project. I usually focus on data visualization here, but information visualization can be so much more than(*) that. Sometimes the only way to clearly represent a model of a system or interaction or process is visually. My current UML-esque model (it's UML-esque and not just UML because I find formal UML so awfully restrictive) of the Java servlets that will run this site is a case-in-point. (I'll be posting these later.)
Anyway, musing aside, I really enjoyed a number of the visual representations of systems and processes over at
Funnel Inc. They are a great example of how to use images to give a holistic view of a project.
