INTRODUCING INFORMATION DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES TO GRAPHIC DESIGN STUDENTS

This paper is about my experiences teaching information design [ID] based on examples from specific projects. These projects and my theories about teaching information design are informed by a 4-year collaboration with an international group of faculty and practitioners from Germany, Sweden, Amsterdam, Austria and the US. As grant recipients for an information design student exchange [idX], we developed core competencies in information design, in collaboration with the International Institure of Information Design [IIID] in Vienna, Austria.
