Information Design. An Introduction

What is Information Design?



Information Design can be a good thing and a lot of times confusing.

Good Information Design-
A pie chart can show simple division, percentages and give the user immediate answers. This is an extremely commonly used to show information.





















Bad Information Design-
Now if I lived here I would know where I was going. Since I don’t I would probably be going around in circles.As you can see this is a confusing intersection. Now if there was a north, south, east or west, you might know where you’re supposed to go. Or instead of AV they could have put street or road.
Now this NYC street sign is more than confusing. No standing from 7-10am, 10a-7p no standing except trucks, allowed to park at night? Who really knows? My guess is don’t park here ever.
