Justin Hollands ö Why are you using colour to represent quantity?

Zack Jacobson ö The colour is just there. The exact number does not matter, but the relative amount does.

Adrian Rossi ö Why not use size to represent quantity? How can you say that one colour is bigger than another?

Zack Jacobson ö We are using a colour spectrum. Blue and yellow are the ends of a real live continuum.

Jim Wise ö There is research into the perceptual heaviness of colour and you can use colour mapping.

Justin Hollands ö I think that the use of size is better, because most people would say that a bigger object is larger than a smaller one.

Zack Jacobson ö Size may be more intuitive, but there is the issue of screen real estate.

Milan Kuctha ö Size and colour are not independent.

Adrian Rossi ö I think that size and colour are independent.

Vincent Taylor ö I think that the issue is that they are trying to change the way that we view this type of information, and that this is just "Act One".

Milan Kuchta ö It is important to have guidelines, but you must be able to relax the constraints.

Vincent Taylor ö Now, do all of the concepts have equal weight?

Zack Jacobson ö Yes.

Vincent Taylor ö Is this the first go at it?

Zack Jacobson ö Yes.
