Abstract. Forecasting snow avalanches requires a reliable stream of field observations, which are often difficult and expensive to collect. Despite the increasing capability of simulating snowpack conditions with physical models, models have seen limited adoption by avalanche forecasters. Feedback from forecasters suggests that model data are presented in ways that are difficult to interpret and irrelevant to operational needs. We apply a visualization design framework to enhance the value of snowpack models to avalanche forecasters. An established risk-based avalanche forecasting workflow is used to define the ways forecasters solve problems with snowpack data. We suggest that model data be visualized in ways that directly support common forecasting tasks such as identifying snowpack features related to avalanche problems and locating avalanche problems in terrain at relevant spatial scales. Examples of visualizations that support these tasks and follow established perceptual and cognitive principles from the field of information visualization are presented. Interactive designs play a critical role in understanding these complex datasets and are well suited for forecasting workflows. Although extensive user testing is still needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these designs, visualization design principles open the door to more relevant and interpretable applications of snowpack model for avalanche forecasters. This work sets the stage for implementing snowpack models into visualization tools where forecasters can test their operational value and learn their capabilities and deficiencies.

At present, with the rapid development of society, digital media has become the mainstream of vision. Digital vision makes people form a new reading form of “Super-Attention”. The visual performance of letterpress printing conforms to this new form of visual reading very well. It is different from the tactile feeling of ordinary printing that further packages and shapes the original information and improves the expectation of information interpretation and experience to a high level. At the same time, the manual culture highlighted by letterpress printing is also one of the best means to cushion the tension of inconsistent technology and culture in modern society. We don't know the result of the confrontation between paper and digital media, but letterpress printing in digital society has shown its unique “Paper-Based” feelings. Through detailed analysis of the historical evolution of letterpress printing, the comparison between traditional letterpress printing and modern letterpress printing, this paper presents clearly the development of letterpress printing for readers, so that readers can truly understand this unique traditional process; and then it elaborates on the application of modern letterpress in creative products and the development status quo of modern letterpress at home and abroad. This paper probes into how to popularize the new nirvana letterpress once again, thus providing a set of modern application attempt of letterpress printing - Rejuvenation of Letterpress information visualization design, and from practice, looking for letterpress regeneration after integrating new design ideas in the new media era.
