My experience in information design extends from an associate degree in Communication and Design at the Ontario College of Art, Toronto(1987).
It encompasses two distict areas of information design: visual representations of information, including quantitive information, information architectures, information graphics and document design; and in information technology the design of information systems.

Information graphics, or infoGraphics are a cousin of information design. Their purpose is to achieve the same goal – to clearly convey information. They only differ in the means they use to communicate, infoGraphics relying heavily on imagery and the use of abstract space, as seen in plans, maps and diagrams.
