Information Design Introduces students to the art and science of transforming complex data into clear, compelling visual narratives. Students explore fundamental principles of information design while developing practical skills in data analysis and visual representation. Through hands-on projects, students learn to craft effective charts, diagrams, and maps that communicate complex information with clarity and purpose. The course emphasizes both technical proficiency and storytelling, teaching students to select appropriate visualization methods and combine them into cohesive narratives that engage and inform their audience. By the end of the course, students will have developed a robust toolkit for turning raw data into meaningful visual experiences.
At the completion of this course, the students will:
– Think critically about information design problems and have a framework for defining, assessing, and solving them
– Develop confidence with the vocabulary of information design and the appropriate application of the visual models
– Be familiar with best-in-class examples of information design
– Understand the power of information design as a tool of communication and persuasion
