Information design is designing things in such a way that they effective communicate information. Information design does not consider how good something appears, but considers how effectively information was transferred. For example, a PowerPoint presentation could be visually appealing, yet the text on the slide was so hard to read it made the work, in terms of information design, useless.
Instructional design can be defined as:
“the process of using our knowledge of how people learn to develop effective instructional strategies that meet the needs of the learners and the desired learning outcomes.” –Instructional Design Australia
Instructional design is similar to information design, in that it too is trying to communicate information with an audience. The main difference is that instructional design is presenting ‘how to do something’ whilst information design is presenting information ‘about something’
