The article states that Information Design is the detailed planning of specific information that provides a particular audience to meet specific objectives.
It’s designed to optimize the layout of information which facilitates navigation, readability and immediate understanding of what the information communicates. The purpose of Information Design is to Simplify, Integrate, Filter and Selectively Emphasize Information, and how users access, learn, and remember information.
INFORMATION DESIGN USUALLY ENCOMPASSES MANY DIFFERENT RESPONSIBILITIES AND TASKS, INCLUDING:
a) Analysis of users' needs and learning styles
b) Selection of the most effective layouts, colors, fonts, and graphics
c) Identification of most effective navigational infrastructures
d) Application of principles of simplification, synthesis and integration
e) Testing of readability, contrast and legibility in adverse situations and for handicapped users
IT ALSO RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO DESIGN INFORMATION FOR DIFFERENT CULTURAL AND VARIOUS OTHER CONTEXTUAL DIFFERENCES IN THE AUDIENCE.
Information is now frequently delivered utilizing electronic media such as Web sites and CD-ROMs (with new possibilities for user interaction). A new discipline has emerged which deals with these aspects of information design from a user-centered point of view: Interaction Design.
