“With most visualizations and graphics, the main focus is to take multiple dimensions of information and project it on to a two-dimension plot”

Change Blindness
Minimizing changes in a scene to make visual changes more noticeable.
Sometimes We Miss the Change Change Blindness - phenomenon that
occurs when a person viewing a visual scene apparently fails to detect large changes in the scene (Wikipedia)

Don Norman’s Design of Everyday Things
Builds on the notion of affordances Affordance – "refers to the perceived and
actual properties of the thing, primarily those fundamental properties that determine just how the thing could possibly be used … Affordances provide strong clues to the operations of things" (Norman, 1988) This can include objects or words/numbers!
Norman, D. A. (1988). The design of everyday things. New York, Doubleday

Affordance Scenario 1

Trapped between the doors! She was walking from one building to the other
with a co-worker. They pulled the handles that opened the doors and went down the walkway. Upon reaching the other end they again pulled the handles, but the doors wouldn't budge. Assuming the doors were locked, they returned to the doors they originally opened to enter the walkway. But when they tried to pull open these doors, they wouldn't open either. They were trapped in the walkway between the two buildings!
My friend and her co-worker spent the next few minutes trying to signal to people though the windows in the buildings, but the people they signaled seemed strangely reluctant to come to the rescue. Finally, after trying the doors again, they discovered they needed to push the doors rather than pull them.
Let’s Add Some Affordances
newCircles.enter().append("circle").attr("cx", function(d) { return d*10; }).attr("cy", function(d) { return d*10; }).attr("r", function(d) { return d; }).style("fill", function(d) { return color(d); }).style("stroke-width", 0).style("stroke", "black").style("cursor", "pointer")// on mouse-over, change the border of the given circle to 2.on("mouseover", function() {d3.select(this).style("stroke-width", 2)})// on mouse-out, change the border back to the original (0).on("mouseout", function() {d3.select(this).style("stroke-width", 0)})
