Information design is an emerging area in technical communication,
garnering increased attention in recent times as more information
is presented through both old and new media. In this volume,
editors Michael J. Albers and Beth Mazur bring together scholars
and practitioners to explore the issues facing those in this
exciting new field.
Treating information as it applies to technical communication,
with a special emphasis on computer-centric industries, this volume
delves into the role of information design in assisting with
concepts, such as usability, documenting procedures, and designing
for users. Influential members in the technical communication field
examine such issues as the application of information design in
structuring technical material; innovative ways of integrating
information design within development methodologies and social
aspects of the workplace; and theoretical approaches that include a
practical application of information design, emphasizing the
intersection of information design theories and workplace reality.
This collection approaches information design from the
language-based technical communication side, emphasizing the role
of content as it relates to complexity in information design. As
such, it treats as paramount the rhetorical and contextual
strategies required for the effective design and transmission of
information.
"Content and Complexity: Information Design in Technical
Communication" explores both theoretical perspectives, as well as
the practicalities of information design in areas relevant to
technical communicators. This integration of theoretical and
applied components make it a practical resource for students,
educators, academic researchers, and practitioners in the technical
communication and information design fields.
