Visualizing Information (CSCD 201)

Information design transforms complex, abstract, or layered data into clear and impactful visuals. By making the invisible visible, designers create icons, illustrations, charts, and diagrams that simplify understanding and foster new connections. In this project-based course, students will translate instructional, qualitative, and quantitative data into engaging infographics and visual forms, enhancing content like step-by-step processes, scientific findings, and editorial narratives. Emphasis is placed on maintaining information integrity and impact while ensuring that design choices are used thoughtfully to support clarity and accuracy. Prior experience with Adobe Illustrator is required.
