Content
Information Design is the discipline of transforming complex ideas into clear, accessible communication across cultures, languages, and media. Typography and iconography play a central role, providing hierarchy, clarity, and universal symbols that guide behaviour and convey meaning. The integration of fonts, icons, and visual structure ensures instructions and systems are understood and information is acted upon as intended. In this unit, students will explore best-practice methods and create their own visual instructions and systems to communicate effectively with diverse audiences.
