INFORMATION
DESIGN

REPHRASED:
We live in constant streams of data, working to extract pertinent information from
a swift current of text and visuals. We also face the challenges of getting our own
messages to readers dealing with information overload and anxiety. This course
introduces the concepts, vocabulary, and tools for effective presentation of print
and digital information. Weʼll read a number of approaches to information design
and create audience-centered products that may include brochures, banners, and
digital documents. (Fulfills a Histories & Theories requirement for Writing Majors,
but is open to all majors. Graduate students will complete additional
readings and make larger contributions to assignments.)
