论文摘要
ChartJunk是一个受欢迎但有争议的话题。先前的研究表明，极端主义并不总是最好的，并且视觉点缀可根据上下文而有用。尽管关于装饰对用户的影响的知识有更多的知识，但对从业者的观点，人们对他们如何用点缀的设计进行了更少的关注。我们对20位数据可视化从业人员进行了半结构化访谈，研究了他们如何理解ChartJunk以及影响如何以及何时使用点缀的因素。我们的调查发现了从业者中对ChartJunk的广泛而多元的理解，并且预示了影响ChartJunk超出上下文的各种个人和位置因素。我们强调了设计实践的个人本质，并讨论了对更多实践领导的研究的必要性，以更好地理解从业者解释和使用ChartJunk之类的概念的方式。
Chartjunk is a popular yet contentious topic. Previous studies have shown that extreme minimalism is not always best, and that visual embellishments can be useful depending on the context. While more knowledge is being developed regarding the effects of embellishments on users, less attention has been given to the perspectives of practitioners regarding how they design with embellishments. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 data visualization practitioners, investigating how they understand chartjunk and the factors that influence how and when they make use of embellishments. Our investigation uncovers a broad and pluralistic understanding of chartjunk among practitioners, and foregrounds a variety of personal and situated factors that influence the use of chartjunk beyond context. We highlight the personal nature of design practice, and discuss the need for more practice-led research to better understand the ways in which concepts like chartjunk are interpreted and used by practitioners.
