What is Information Design?

(Photo I took on a recent trip to UK)
Information design is everywhere. I see it as soon as I get in the shower and grab the shampoo bottle. I see it when I open the newspaper. I see it in schoolbooks and in staff meetings. My son is bombarded with examples of information design from advertisements to educational games and books. There are great and inventive ways to convey information and they can inspire us and teach us and they affect all of us in some way or another.
