Nature of the problem
High information density does not equal clutter, but mishandling it does lead to cognitive overload.
Improvement methods
- Applying Layered Visual Processing: Use color blocks to differentiate information modules, but limit to 3-4 main levels
- Optimize information chunking: Organize content according to user task flows, with no more than 7 ± 2 elements per group
- Smart use of white space: Increase breathing space around key decision points
- Dynamic Focusing Technology: Directing attention through micro-interactions (e.g. hover highlighting)
concrete skills
1. Use shades of gray instead of plain black text
2. Adding zebra stripes to tables
3. Graphical visualization of key data
4. Regularly scheduled interface "de-noising" reviews (quarterly)
5. Allow advanced users to customize view density
