What is design?
Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing
existing situations into preferred ones. The intellectual activity that
produces material artifacts is no different fundamentally from the one
that prescribes remedies for a sick patient or the one that devises a
new sales plan for a company or a social welfare policy for a state.
Herbert A. Simon (1969) The Sciences of the Artificial. P. 130. MIT Press,
Cambridge, Mass.

What is design?
Design, as a unique way of thinking and acting, does not have a long,
well-developed scholarly history. Other intellectual traditions, such as
science and art, have enjoyed thousands of years of considered
thought.
Harold Nelson & Erik Stolterman (2002)c

What are information graphics?
Clear thinking made visible – Edward Tufte
It is not about designing graphics. It is all about designing information
– Richard Saul Wurman
Vision can no longer be employed simply to support verbal and
conceptual meanings: Its potential as a cognitive power in its own right
must be exploited – Kepes

What are information graphics?
But are infographics just a means to visually record what we already
know?

What are information graphics?
But are infographics just a means to visually record what we already

Or to merely clarify and communicate effectively?
Can they be used to discern new meaning or discover new knowledge?

What are information graphics?
But are infographics just a means to visually record what we already
know?
Or to merely clarify and communicate effectively?
Can they be used to discern new meaning or discover new knowledge?
Or, can they tell a powerful story, to inspire and to move minds?

Information Objects - class participation exercise 2
Find 3 non-digital, everyday objects in which some critical
information that is related to the function of the object is
communicated (either serendipitously or accidentally)
visually. Explain:
1. What information do they possess?
2. Where is the information embedded?
3. Why is the information important?
4. How do they communicate it to us?
Photograph the objects. Come prepared to articulate and
discuss your observations in class.
