ABSTRACT

The emerging design direction of information design is currently in the nascent development stage in the design education of China. Information design is closely related to everyone’s life. Subway traffic map, pie chart, curve chart, histogram, schedule, etc. in daily data reports, timetables and weather forecast satellite cloud pictures all belong to information design. Information design sometimes involves large-capacity and complex data, so the requirements for designers are very high. They are a very special group of people who must have strong information integration ability, and master and understand relevant performance content deeply, as well as have the skills and talents of designers and the scientist’s rigorous way of thinking and problem-solving ability. Our future design education industry needs to cultivate a large number of information designers with curiosity, performance skills and deep understanding to meet the various needs of China’s information design field.
