Abstract

This study aimed to assess perceptions on the graphical informational materials designed to help in the fight against COVID-19 in Portugal and Brazil. We assessed the perceptions using an online survey incorporating the AttrakDiff2TM questionnaire. The results show that the perception of risk with relation to the COVID-19 pandemic is high among the respondents, and that they believe that they will have mild symptoms if infected by the virus. The results also show that the materials available in these countries were poorly designed and not effective in promoting adequate behaviour change. These findings can contribute to future design projects whose aim is to design risk communication materials to inform and guide people facing health crisis situations.

对葡萄牙和巴西抗击COVID-19所使用的信息材料设计的看法

本研究旨在评估葡萄牙和巴西对旨在帮助抗击COVID-19的图形信息材料的看法。我们使用包含AttrakDiff2TM问卷的在线调查来评估感知。结果显示，受访者对COVID-19大流行的风险认知很高，他们认为如果感染病毒，他们会有轻微的症状。结果还表明，这些国家现有的材料设计得很差，不能有效地促进适当的行为改变。这些发现有助于未来的设计项目，其目的是设计风险宣传材料，以告知和指导面临健康危机情况的人们。

期刊介绍： Information Design Journal (IDJ) is a peer reviewed international journal that bridges the gap between research and practice in information design. IDJ is a platform for discussing and improving the design, usability, and overall effectiveness of ‘content put into form’ — of verbal and visual messages shaped to meet the needs of particular audiences. IDJ offers a forum for sharing ideas about the verbal, visual, and typographic design of print and online documents, multimedia presentations, illustrations, signage, interfaces, maps, quantitative displays, websites, and new media. IDJ brings together ways of thinking about creating effective communications for use in contexts such as workplaces, hospitals, airports, banks, schools, or government agencies.
