Towards Metrics for Evaluating Creativity in Visualisation Design
<|reference_start|>Towards Metrics for Evaluating Creativity in Visualisation Design: Creativity in visualisation design is essential for designers and data scientists who need to present data in innovative ways. It is often achieved through sketching or drafting low-fidelity prototypes. However, judging this innovation is often difficult. A creative visualisation test would offer a structured approach to enhancing visual thinking and design skills, which are vital across many fields. Such a test can facilitate objective evaluation, skill identification, benchmarking, fostering innovation, and improving learning outcomes. In developing such a test, we propose focusing on four criteria: Quantity, Correctness, Novelty, and Feasibility. These criteria integrate into a test that is easy to administer. We name it the Rowen Test of Creativity in Visualisation Design; We introduce the test, scoring system and results from using eight visualisation experts.<|reference_end|>
