Placemat (graphic design)
A placemat (also data placemat[1]) in the context of graphic design is a visual, one-page summary[2] of the key points of a topic or subject matter.[3]
It gets its name from the physical object of a household placemat whose size, and aspect ratio (at 11 by 17 inches[3]) it resembles.[4] Placemats are used in decision-making[5] and educational[6] settings.
