Abstract

Information design is defined in two areas: journalistic information and domestic information. In this study the background and perspective of Information design are analyzed –paying special attention to those aspects that can improve society. Also, from the viewpoint of journalistic design, we focus on greater integration of visual language in news stories as a tool to add value to professional journalistic information. This commitment is framed by the need for professional and independent journalism to be valued by society as a fundamental actor in contemporary democracies.In domestic information design, we highlight the need to redesign, with criteria for clarity, responsibility, and transparency in documents such as contracts, invoices, and product labeling, giving priority to clear communication above commercial interests.
