 Information Interaction Design

infintdesigntriad

Nathan Shedroff named and developed a field of design called Information Interaction Design. It is the overlap between the disciplines of Information Design, Interaction Design, and Sensorial Design. Th egoals was to create better interactive experiences.

The roots of Information Design are in graphic design and publishing partly because that discipline is very clearly focused on the need to establish clear goals and messages from the outset to be successful.

Interaction Design is the art of effectively creating interesting and compelling experiences for others. According to Shedroff, it is closely related to the art of telling stories.

Shedroff suggests the best place to look for clues on how to master interactivity is the arena of art.

 

Sensorial Design

Sensorial Design is simply the employment of all techniques with which we communicate to others through our senses.

  • sight

  • sound

  • taste

  • smell

  • touch

Information technology is still waiting for a way to include our senses of smell and taste. Would you consider touch in that group?
