Examples of Information/Instructional design

Here are some examples of Information/Instructional design:
This is a very clear example of information design and this shows the mapping system for the train around Sydney. Each colour line is representative of transit line and has very clear translation of what where.This image is of the of graph that is about how American waste time sitting in traffic and it compares the times trough visually appealing design. each icon is different like the film, book and CD.

This shows a playful information design, as it gives the information about where the fruits has come and traveled from through a geographical graph.

This is an Instructional design example that shows how to make a shelter. This is very affective as it does not use any words but only uses visual imagery to guide the user.

Saul Carliner defines information design as:
"Information design is the visual method of explaining and interpreting complex information and data to help the user achieve a particular objective"

This is the practice of gathering, filtering, and presenting information in accordance with effective design principles in order to understand and communicate to others the meaning of that information.
Instructional design looks at the practice of creating instructional tools and content to help make learning easier.This process consist of determining the current state and needs of the user, finding the end goal of instructions and creating involvement to help the transition.
