Designing information for people
Designing information for people
Edited by R Penman & D Sless

Understand information design: the process of creating information which is accessible and usable.

This collection of papers from our highly influencial symposium in 1990 is the classic text on Information Design in Australia.

Long before most people had heard about usability or 'user-centred design', and before the internet, the Institute had developed methods for designing accessible and usable information.
