Information design is a subfield of graphic design that focuses on
              displaying information in an understandable style. It can include
              data, stories, statistics, and sounds. Information  design makes
              information appealing, enjoyable, and accessible.
              Information design can be used in a variety of contexts, including
              signage,  television advertising,  and  safety  posters.  Information
              designers produce  designs that  are visually  appealing and
              simple to  grasp. They  also understand  what types of  designs,
              such as a table, timeline, or pie chart, a certain audience may
              require. The purpose of information design is to assist individuals
              in understanding complicated concepts,  solving issues, and
              completing  activities. Here  are  a few examples of  information
              design in everyday life:
