Data visualizations have been widely used during the COVID-19 pandemic, serving as a source of information about the disease or helping researchers establish patterns and make predictions. However, data visualizations carry many hidden messages, and it is up to the designer to use visual elements wisely in order to foster a healthy interaction. When it comes to death, information becomes delicate, and it is important to consider the connections between form and meaning, as these can influence audience behavior. Seeking to better understand how data visualizations have dealt with such a topic, this article analyzes two data visualizations on the number of deaths by COVID-19 through the analytical lens of remediation. The Close Reading method was applied to map the elements of both visualizations and analyze how these can promote death awareness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este artigo aborda a agência como o principal modo de envolvimento com o design da informação. Estamos particularmente interessados no design da informação em uma interface digital. Consideramos que a agência como um modo de envolvimento pode enquadrar a dimensão do design da informação em uma interface digital. Para isso, foi aplicado o método de leitura atenta para investigar como a interface suporta a agência em dois websites. O interesse pessoal, os pontos de contato e o processamento de informações foram utilizados como lentes analíticas. Os resultados sugerem que o envolvimento com o design da informação pela agência, apoia o projeto da informação em seu aspecto concreto. Por outro lado, o design da informação tende a facilitar todo o escopo da agência no recebimento desta interface. O domínio da ação é o mais evidente devido à dimensão tátil da interatividade e seu efeito imediato sobre a interface. Assim, o reconhecimento da importância do envolvimento por agência pode beneficiar tanto a análise quanto a produção do design da informação. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A model works as an artifact that assists and guides thinking in making and justifying decisions related to a specific problem. Therefore, the graphic representation of these models can contribute to the understanding of the model. This article analyses the information design of some conceptual models of serious games to evaluate their graphic quality. To this end, a systematic literature review was carried out in search of models that would assist in the design and development of serious games. This paper presents the classification of graphic language by the Twyman matrix and discuss the graphic elements together with the content analysis of the model. The results suggest that the graphic quality of these models is low, which makes it difficult to explore all the features of the model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
