What is Information/Instructional Design

What is Information/Industrial Design?

My interpretation of Information design is that through the use of organized graphics (these include: images, graphs, diagrams, etc) and limited type, it is to convey a story/information in a way clearer and generally easier to understand by the audience compared with the same information being composed of nothing but text.

As for Instructional Design, my thoughts on it is, it is teaching. The reason for Instructional Design is to create an effective mean of improving understanding, resulting in a learner whom before could not understand or complete a task by the end of the “Instructional Design” is able to do so. To me that is what teaching is. Also like teaching Instructional Design is to create an instructional method which is effective as well as appealing for the learners.

Information Design equals delivering information to the audience efficiently and effectively!

Instructional Design is teaching!
