What is a conceptual diagram?

The conceptual diagram is the visual representation of the ways in terms of abstract concepts. It is used to help visualize processes or high -level processes through a number of unique lines and shapes. The conceptual diagrams are widely used in fields as diverse as business, science and production and can be created in different ways to meet the needs of the project. The heart of the diagram is often included in the central concept and other factors are given in connection with this central concept. For example, if someone should create a conceptual diagram that would show factors that contribute to good sleep, the scheme would include a box or other shape representing a peaceful sleep in the center. This box would be surrounded by shapes showing different factors such as exercise and stress, it would be connected to the center box with rows or arrows. Lines and arrows visually indicate how secondary factors are related to the central concept of resting sleep.

The versatility of its visual format allows you to adapt to the conceptual diagram of almost any situation where the system can be explained through a network of abstract thoughts. Such a diagram could be used to display the flow of the production process or interactions of the complex ecosystem. In business, these representations are particularly popular because they provide a way to show managers to employees of business strategy in a clear and direct way. Conceptual diagrams are used not only for planning, but also for conceptual solutions - brainstorming the solution of an abstract problem.

In the construction of the conceptual diagram, several design factors must be considered before the start of the drawing. The first step is to identify the central idea that the diagram intends to communicate. Once the central concept is identified, other concepts can be preferred to fit into the available visual space. EffectiveThe representations tend to communicate information briefly without confusing the viewer with tangled nets of lines and shapes, so that only the most important information is usually included.

The next step is to consider the audience for which this diagram is intended. Scientists with specialized knowledge can understand the network of highly technical concepts, but the popular audience may not. The aim of the diagram format is to communicate the idea so that the audience understands without a lengthy explanation.

Although less important than the above factors, the visual style is also a consideration in designing a conceptual diagram. Color, shapes and overall view can affect the impact of visual. If the symbols are supposed to be included a key to indicate what each symbol represents. Clarity is usually the most important, but some projects may require greater originality and abstraction in the representation.
