Information Design by Robert Jacobson

In Information Design, Robert Jacobson compiles the ideas of numerous professionals involved in the field of information design in order to create a very broad definition of the subject. This review focuses on what a prospective reader could learn from the book as well as recommendations for a variety of potential readers. As a visual aid, there is an accompanying PowerPoint which explains both textually and visually some of the major concepts in the book such as wayfinding, perception differences, and how data takes on new meaning. Overall, this book is useful for those hoping to broaden their views of information design but definitely not for narrowing them down or those searching for concrete and absolute ideals.
