ÿ Information design is a subfield of graphic design that focuses on displaying information in an
understandable style.
ÿ It can include data, stories, statistics, and sounds.
ÿ The purpose of information design is to assist individuals in understanding complicated concepts,
solving issues, and completing activities.
ÿ Anyone who’s looking into the practice of information design should understand the fundamental
process of information design. This includes purpose, use, conclusion and design.
ÿ The steps involved in information mapping and structuring are identifying, categorising, interrelating
and sequencing, and finally presenting.
ÿ Information mapping allows you to properly arrange information so that it is easier to find, understand,
and remember.
ÿ Information Signage refers to visual graphics or displays that convey information for purposes such as
identification and safety.
ÿ Wayfinding is the process of navigating a physical place using items such as signage, maps, and
landmarks to guide visitors.
ÿ Signage and wayfinding design elements should be consistent across different environments. Consistent
elements help individuals grasp information and develop patterns in an area.
ÿ Data visualisation is about showing information, while information design is about using that
information to achieve a goal.
