From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Information design is the design of visual displays of data. See Information graphics. It is defined as the art and science of preparing information so that it can be used by human beings with efficiency and effectiveness (Jacobson 2000).

In computer science and information technology, information design is sometimes a rough synonym for (but is not necessarily the same discipline as) information architecture, the design of information systems, databases, or data structures. This sense includes data modelling and process analysis.
