Critique
Flow charts are visual representations of the steps involved in a process often used to simplify complex processes. Processes are basically structured and measured sets of activities designed to produce outputs. They provide a visual point of reference that shows where to start, and the aspects that come next and when a decision has to be made and thus is a useful tool that drives the focus on the logic behind the process. According to Jennings-Balthazar, the visual concept of the prototype is much more accurate as the eye catches the smallest details (16). Therefore, aspects of simplicity and the visual point of reference are the most important in regard to the effectiveness of flowcharts because they make it easy to read and follow the process content and direction.
The visuals are based on a standard set of objects which helps to represent the logic behind processes. The rectangle shape, for instance, is used to indicate that the process can be processed and the arrows represent the flow of direction and what is next. This is an important aspect that helps to maintain the consistency in the use of the flow charts.
The flow aesthetics in the flow charts in the production of the diagrams is conceptually and computationally present. This is because the combination of the diagrams and the functions as well as the readable content depict an effective flow diagram of the sequence of actions in the process. Therefore, the sequence of the process is relevant to concerns about aspects of aesthetics.
