Information Design is everywhere. It is the stop sign you see on your corner, the evacuation directions in case of emergency on an airplane, or the CPR guide at the pool. It is a visual representation of information or a set of directions for the sole purpose of the viewer's understanding.

What You'll Learn

You will learn what it means to communicate information effectively — from your perspective while injecting your own creativity and style. We'll cover:

  • Introduction. We will look at examples of information and process design in public spaces, and identify what works and what doesn't.
  • Identifying your Topic & Collecting Inspiration. I prepared a brief for you to work on. You will collect information to organize and design, and I will share with you resources.
  • Generating Ideas & Making Ugly Sketches. Getting ideas from your head on paper.
  • Refining Your Sketches. You will be creating tighter drawings of your ugly sketches. At this stage, the flow and the elements of your illustrations should be clearly defined.
  • Creating the Final Illustration. Digitizing your illustrations into a fully understandable, visually appealing piece of information design. I will share some tips on how I use Illustrator and Photoshop.
