Presented from a design perspective and user-centered

The newest edition of the Textbook of Information Design

This revised and updated edition of the Textbook of Information Design provides a comprehensive overview of what you need to know for information design, and provides a structured approach to learning for information designers. While visuals are important, information design focuses on taking a structured approach to information, organizing the core of information, and designing it to be user-centered. In a world where we are bombarded with information that far exceeds our capacity to absorb and manage, the purpose of information design is to find the user’s intent and purpose and to edit and process the information to meet them.

This book is already a well-known textbook in the field of information design, but the revised edition, which replaces outdated material and adds the latest examples, is even better. This book is designed to help students understand the concepts and history of information design and the principles, methods, and design elements for designing information step by step. It also focuses on the virtues that information designers need to understand and know from a design perspective. It will be useful for students and practicing designers, those in academic fields such as the humanities and engineering, and those in charge of information in public administration and corporations.
