This journal's key themes include: design rationale and approach, software underpinnings, deployment, and interaction, with an emphasis on creative, cutting-edge, aesthetic, and innovative uses of graphics in applications and human-computer interfaces. Articles in this journal are presented in a systematic but accessible style and emphasize their impact, extraordinary nature, and their positioning in this exciting field. Targeting researchers, developers, designers, user-experience engineers, artists, and planners, IJCICG supplies readers with a better understanding of the design and deployment of novel graphical applications and technologies on the desktop, the Web, mobile devices, and public spaces.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Coverage of IJCICG:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Advances in interfaces to support creativity, productivity, and expression <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Aesthetic computing, visual explanations, and data visualization <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Bleeding-edge Web, RIA, and mobile interfaces <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cutting-edge interfaces and applications in practical creative fields such as engineering and design, digital art, entertainment, video gaming and computer animation, museums, performance, and other creative endeavors <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Design of new styles of interaction-rich applications and services <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Novel visual metaphors used for visualization or practical data mining <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Societal impact and evaluation of graphical applications and interfaces <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>State of the art mobile applications with unique visual characteristics <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Technologies and underpinnings that enable or support visually compelling interfaces <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Trends in innovative and future interfaces <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Use of visual elegance and simplicity <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>IJCICG aims to be accessible to a wide range of readers by publishing articles with wide or cross-cutting appeal (as opposed to those focusing solely on mathematics or algorithms) and seeks revolutionary - not stepwise - results or visions.
