What is Information Design?

1. Section

2. The term has come to be used specifically for
graphic design for displaying information effectively,
rather than just attractively.
It is closely related to the field of data visualisation.
Information Design is the practice
of presenting information in a way which
fosters efficient and effective
understanding of it.”
“
