Trying to sort through my ideas and concepts to create clarity for my graduate work. Looking into resources such as Edward Tufte and Here, The Cooper Carry Magazine .
I’m choosing to focus on Information Design. Wikipedia states, “Information design is the skill and practice of preparing information so people can use it with efficiency and effectiveness. Wikipedia goes on to say…One of the first uses of the term was by the London graphic design consultancy Pentagram, who used the term in the 1970s to mean their graphic design, as distinct from product or other kinds of design.”
I believe as our daily lives become increasingly bombarded with various levels and kinds of necessary information, its becoming apparent that the preparation of that information for efficiency and effectiveness is paramount.
And lastly, the website, Design Observer has an archive of articles collected specifically about Information Design.
