Information design is about displaying information in a suitable way for a particular kind of audience.

Any form of information can be classified as ‘Information/Instructional Design’ such as traffic signal lights. These display whether to go or to stop or slow down. This is conveying instructions to an audience, drivers, on what to do.

Other forms of Information design can include maps, diagrams and charts. With these, the information must be specifically designed to show a particular view point, so thus the design element is very important. The design must also take into account the particular audience and which it is trying to communicate to.
