Information design is everywhere. It even lies in the very structure and appearance of this sentence. I always look around to see how my eye can be caught from the colors and textures and shapes of everything around me. The color combinations, and which one leads the eye in first to the sizes and contrasts of everything. Even nature has its own way of showing us information design.
In my eyes information design is just that, no more no less. Its information that is given to you in a design. Whether it is in the form of a pamphlet or a movie poster, so a post card or a car commercial. Even music can be informative in a audio like matter. Information can be anything you can obtain with your senses, whether you hear, smell, taste, touch, or see it.
Information design tells a story. Like a comic strip for instance. It can have colors tell make the strip more intense, pull your eyes into it to make it more fun. You'll want to read it. Or a commercial with a catchy tune, maybe it'll get stuck in your head for the day, but you remember the jingle and maybe even wait for the commercial to come back on!
Information is everywhere, and design is everywhere. Even in that sentence.
