Information Design 4?Graphic Design

Yin and yang, or yin-yang, is a concept used in Chinese philosophy to describe how seemingly opposite forces are interconnected and interdependent, and how they give rise to each other. Many natural dualities, such as life and death, light and dark, are thought of as physical manifestations of the concept. Yin and yang can also be thought of as complementary forces interacting to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the parts. In information design, theory and practice is an example where the whole is greater than the parts.

Preface

Information design is a multi-disciplinary, multi-dimensional, and worldwide consideration with influences from areas such as language, art and aesthetics, information, communication, behaviour and cognition, business and law, as well as media production technologies.

Since my retirement I have edited and revised sections of my earlier books, conference papers and reports about information design, message design, visual communication and visual literacy. The result is this series of six books:

Information Design 1?Message Design Information Design 2?Text Design Information Design 3?Image Design Information Design 4?Graphic Design Information Design 5?Cognition Information Design 6?Predecessors & Pioneers

These books include definitions, selected results from research, theoretical considerations, as well as practical guidelines for message design. The intended reader is especially interested in research and theory related to message design, and the design of information materials and information sets.
