Proceedings Vision Plus 2017: Core Competencies – Information Design in Education
Information design professionals, students and teachers from around the world joined us in Riga to take a closer look at the skills, competences and talents needed for implementing good information design.
The event took place at the Art Academy of Latvia. It also served as a platform to get familiar with the information design scene in Latvia, the Baltic and Eastern Europe as well we welcoming our international community from all over the world from Asia, Australia, Africa and America and, of course, Europe.
Review Traffic & Transport Forum 2017: Information as a (Public) Service
Ever more public and private players are involved in providing mobility services and information. The design of manageable and understandable information environments is a major challenge – for providers as well as users. We talked about
• Who owns information (design) for mobility: designers, communities, transport authorities, data sources?
• Does standardisation also mean loss of community identity?
• Who moderates/advocates design qualities in the public interest?
• What are future information needs and technologies for mobility?
Proceedings VisionPlus 2015: information+design=performance
In September 2015, IIID partnered with Birmingham City University and the Information Design Association to organize the 16th international interdisciplinary symposium at the universities new Parkside Building in Birmingham, UK.
The Symposium explored a wide variety of relevant and topical issues ranging from information at the beginning of the digital age, healthcare, inclusion, big data visualization, to wayfinding and many other fascinating ideas relating to information, design and performance.
The event was a great success, with speakers and delegates from around the world sharing ideas across two days at the City Centre Campus, Birmingham City University.

Transforming Information: A conference to examine the role of the Isotype Transformer 90 years on...
The graphic language of Isotype with its simple repeated symbols has largely become just one element in the designer’s toolbox – as Otto Neurath predicted in International Picture Language in 1936 ‘dependent on their times like all the old sign languages’. This conference in the Vision Plus series investigated the role of the „transformer“ and its understanding among designers practicing today. The event was named in reference to Marie Neurath.
