What is information design?

Imagine a map. At first glance, it seems like a neutral guide, a tool to navigate space. But look closer: what is included, what is omitted, and how is it represented? Information design is not just about presenting data—it is about choices, priorities, and values embedded in the visual and structural form. A map that highlights borders emphasizes division; one that shows trade routes foregrounds connection. Information design shapes perception and influences decisions. To understand it critically, we must ask: whose perspective does it serve, and what realities does it obscure or illuminate?

Why information design?

Data and algorithms are the building blocks of information technology. They are the driving forces behind hiped topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Virtual Reality, Big Data, Crypto Currencies and much more. While these topics are oftentimes explored within studying computer science design plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between human and technological concepts. Design can make data visible, explorable, and understandable. But not only that, it allows to question and reflect upon the meaning of technology in society.

Thus, information designers are individuals who shape how humans interact, engage, imagine, and reflect upon themselves truth technology. From such an education there are vast opportunities to work in journalism, start-ups NGOs, cooperations, research among others.
