Abstract

Visual designs aiding the understanding of research results are becoming important for researchers. However, many researchers use incomprehensible and unattractive visual designs, which is why we attempted to formulate effective visual design rules for researchers. First, we published handbooks that presented plans of these visual design rules. We distributed them to researchers in Japan and conducted surveys using questionnaires. We then inspected the effects and problems of these plans. Consequently, the most effective rules were about the “Layout,” particularly the rule“ Being Conscious of the Flow of the Eyes.” The second most effective rules were about “Color Methods,” particularly the rule “Deciding Three Colors （Main Color, Accent Color, and Neutral Color）.” The rules about “Drawing using PowerPoint” were also effective, particularly the rule“ Mastering Edit Points.”
