1. One example of design implication of The Apprehension Principle is the design of a public transportation map. A well-designed map should be easy to read and understand, with clear labels and visual elements that accurately convey the location and connection of different transportation lines.
For example, the map might use different colors or line styles to distinguish between different types of transportation, such as trains, buses, and trams. It might also use symbols or icons to represent different types of landmarks or points of interest, such as airports, parks, and shopping centers.
In addition to the visual design, the map should also be presented at a speed that allows the viewer to comprehend and process the information. This might mean displaying the map in a static form, rather than as a fast-moving animation, or providing the option for the viewer to zoom in or out to get a better view of the details.
Overall, the goal of the map's design should be to effectively communicate the information about the transportation network in a way that is easy for the viewer to understand and navigate. This aligns with the principles of the apprehension principle, which suggests that visual displays should be accurately perceived and judged in order to be effective.

2. Another example of design implication of The Apprehension Principle is the design of a weather forecast website or app. The goal of the design should be to effectively communicate the current and future weather conditions in a way that is easy for the viewer to understand and use.
For instance, the website or app can use visual elements such as icons, colors, and graphs to represent different types of weather, such as sunny, cloudy, or rainy. It might also use labels or text to provide more detailed information about the temperature, humidity, wind speed, and other meteorological data.
In addition to the visual design, the website or app should also consider the speed at which the information is presented. For example, the forecast might update dynamically in real-time, or allow the user to select a specific time frame or location to view the forecast for.
Overall, the goal of the weather forecast website or app should be to effectively communicate the weather information in a way that is easy for the viewer to understand and use, aligning with the principles of the apprehension principle.


'''Bad Examples & Designs

1. This is a bad design that failed to follow The Apprehension Principle. The visual display is not presented in a manner that allows the information to be communicated effectively and the visual dimensions are unlikely to be accurately apprehended by the viewers. The combination of numerical percentage and the area size of the color makes the comparison very difficult. In addition, the size of the colored area and the numerical percentage isn’t adjusted geographically. The area size of color on the graph also seems to indicate that there are no Asian population within the United States in 2010, which is untrue.
