What is Information Design?
Information, as defined by the idX* group,
"is the result of processing, manipulating and organizing
data in a way that adds to the knowledge of the person
receiving it“.
Design, as approved by the IIID General Assemblies 1993 and 2000,
"is the identifying of a problem and the
intellectual creative effort of an originator, manifesting
itself in drawings or plans which include schemes and
specifications".
Accordingly, information design "is the
defining, planning, and shaping of the contents of a message
and the environments in which it is presented, with the
intention to satisfy the information needs of the intended
recipients” (IIID definition modified by the idX*
group).
