Research in Information Design
Rune Pettersson · Journal of Visual Literacy · 2006
Like architecture, engineering, and other broad disciplines, information design has practical and theoretical elements. To a large extent, research in information design consists of applied research. Critically selected results from other research areas may often be used as a starting point for the development of new theories. It may be concluded that the study of information design and the presentation ofverbo-visual messages is a multi-disciplinary, multi-dimensional, and worldwide consideration. Information literacy, visual language, visual literacy, perception, and learning are important concepts here. Several different research methods are used in information design research.
