Synopsis
foreword by Richard Saul Wurman
Information design is the newest of the design disciplines. As a sign of our times, when the crafting of messages and meaning is so central to our lives, information design is not only important—it is essential. Contemporary information designers seek to edify more than to persuade, to exchange more than to foist upon. With ever more powerful technologies of communication, we have learned that the issuer of designed information is as likely as the intended recipient to be changed by it, for better or worse.
The contributors to this book are both cautionary and hopeful as they offer visions of how information design can be practiced diligently and ethically, for the benefit of information consumers as well as producers. They present various methods that seem to work, such as sense-making and way-finding. They make recommendations and serve as guides to a still young but extraordinarily pervasive—and persuasive—field.

Review
"A wonderful resource compendium on the diverse landscape of information design. From theory to practice, the book is truly an effort in the 'design of understanding'"--Clement Mok, Chief Creative Officer, Sapient
From the Author
Preliminary Invitation to the Reader
INFORMATION DESIGN is the first comprehensive anthology on this topic to appear in over a decade. Contributors from 16 leading practitioners and scholars help to define the field, explore its theoretical and practical foundations, and discover how best to systematize and teach information design.
The foreward by Richard Saul Wurman sets a tone of thoughtful exploration and debate. INFORMATION DESIGN is less a how-to and more a deeper investigation of the soul of the information designer: the motivations and personal insights of experts who have been practicing information design long before it became popularized by the Internet and World Wide Web.
