Abstract
Visualisations are very helpfull design support tools in product development. Designing their concepts is a challenging task for everybody who develops methodical design supports. This paper presents a new “Methodical Approach to the Design of Visualisation Concepts as Tools in Product Development” which is based on the needs of visualisation designers and state of art in information visualisation. The approach is presented by an industry case which is analysed for applicability and effectiveness of the methodical approach and the visualisation that was developed in the case as a design tool.
