Passini

I chose Romedi Passini’s theory of Sign-Posting Information Design because it closely relates to how I look at information design, it is more aligned with my interests. Taking from what I said in my blog assignment, “from what I have gathered of this theory, there are certain points and things you need to understand. Explained in Information Design (pg 84-96), there is designing information, distinguishing characteristics of information design, knowledge base for information design, research and information design, pitfalls for information design, information design and wayfinding, the concept of wayfinding, what information is needed, where information is needed, the question of form and presentation, from information to information systems, and information design and professional boundaries. It is a lot within this theory but I found all of it the most interesting concept of how to get around and how to look at information design.” All these characteristics and steps of this theory are the most interesting for me. Its almost like giving’s guidelines and steps within guidelines and steps to information design and sign-posting. It goes well with what I like to work with, such as color, little icons here and there, all things I like to use to get my point across. I like to make designs that people want to remember. I would one day like to take this sign-posting theory and make a sign such as the recycling made by Gary Anderson, which is known internationally. Sign-Posting is my favorite, because you can use your imagination and have so many different approaches to communicate with someone.
