Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The visibility and legibility of graphic elements and typography is crucial for the rapid absorption and processing of information, the speed of which depends on the typography and graphic design. If visual communication is conveyed via modern media and displays, its visibility and legibility depends not only on the graphic design but also on the type of device (e.g., screen, tablet, phone) and the resolution of the display or screen. If visual communication is transmitted via conventional printed media, i.e., physical objects, its visibility and legibility, amongst other aspects, depends on the printing technique and the substrate used.

This Special Issue contains high-quality original research papers on the following topics:

  • The visibility of graphic elements (e.g., pictograms, information graphics, typography, graphic solutions) across different media (digital, physical, phygital);
  • Legibility across different media (digital, physical, phygital);
  • The influence of design solutions for graphic elements on visibility and/or legibility across different media (digital, physical, phygital);
  • The influence of the use of color on the visibility and/or legibility of graphic elements and typography across different media (digital, physical, phygital);
  • User experience efficiency of visual elements across different media (digital, physical, phygital);
  • Graphic elements applied to different age groups and media used.
