Examples of information design can be any design that has the ability to convey information such as posters, tables graphs and diagrams. Below are some examples of information design:
Charles Joseph Minard's information graph of Napoleon's march
This graph is an example of information design because it able to present various information about Napoleon's march in detail such as the location, date and time, head count, distance travelled etc.Another example is this map showing the location of hotels in the Sydney CBD
This poster below informs the audience about the National Poetry Month that occurred last April 2008
Instructional Design - Examples
Instructional Design similarly can be any design which has the ability to convey information which provide users directions or certain instructions in order to achieve a specific goal or task. Information design and instructional design can go hand in hand to provide instructions and directions for users to be able to learn and apply. For example, maps can be combined with directions in order to informing the user about the location of a particular place and whilst directions can instruct them how to get their destination. Below are examples of instructional design
This sign designed to be placed at a certain area of a building demonstrates a perfect example of instructional design combined with information design for a more effective building sign.Another example of an instructional design combined with information design is seen through this train map. This is a London train map presented in a minimalistic manner in order for people to read and understand the information presented on it. Whilst it shows information about the railway system and how to read it correctly, it also instructs its reader how to get to a certain station through colour coded lines.
