This paper proposes a conceptual model for which one might begin to assess aesthetic effect within the user experience of information visualization. Through first defining, then illustrating new dimensions of aesthetic that exist within the context of information visualization, this paper goes on to suggest that a user centered evaluation method not solely centered around task efficiency metrics is now imperative.

Index Terms:

aesthetic, information visualization, user experience, metaphor, evaluation, user centered design.
