Introduction to Information Design
Information Systems - the Web
My primary area of interest is primarily facilating ease and understanding across information systems. Whether they be intranets, corporate sites, "portals", web applications, or etc.
Sometimes information design involves grouping or arranging pieces of information.
The key, of course, is to group and arrange the information elements in ways the reflect how your users think and support their tasks and goals. This is in effect micro level information architecture where we have to communicate structures on the page.
We're tying design thinking to thinking principles - human cognitive tasks (Making comparisons, navigating through many dimensions, figuring out causality: fundamentals of human cognitive tasks). Information design is a key part of a user- centred design process.
