INTRODUCTION:
The International Journal of Creative Interfaces and Computer 
Graphics (IJCICG) is currently accepting submissions: research
papers (between 5,500 to 8,000 words in length), position

OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE:

The objective of the issue is to focus on – and draw attention to 
- two fields which are currently active and growing: Visualization
Aesthetics and Criticism (how information aesthetics influence 
technical implementations and their usability) and Design 
Visualization. The theme for the special issue will be focused on
the use of metaphors (conceptual, natural, visual, and auditory
metaphors) both in visualization and digital art. 

RECOMMENDED TOPICS:
Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are 
not limited to) the following:

  digital art as metaphor
* Aesthetic elements and primitives in visualizations
* Approaches to visualization: iconic messages, use of symbols,
  metaphors, cognitive, abstract thinking and problem finding 
* Art and visualization of spatial, tonal, and temporal domains,
  application of interactive art
* Selecting optimal visualization tools for non-linear, visually
  storytelling, interactive, virtual, intelligent presentations, 
  gaming, and other solutions
* Novel visual, interaction-rich metaphors used for visualization
  or practical data mining
* Societal impact and evaluation of novel visualization and data
  mining solutions
* Information aesthetics, visualization aesthetics 
* Effects of visualization aesthetics on efficiency and usability
  of information visualization 
* Aesthetics of infographics
* Visualizations for learning and teaching 
* Aesthetic computing
* Visual computing 
* Information technology (IT) in visualization, visualization for
  instruction with IT
* Criticism, perception in the field, classification
* History of data-, information-, knowledge-visualization, and 
  data mining
