Information/Instructional design | Examples

Some examples of Information and Instructional Design are:

Road Signs - Such as traffic lights, hazard and speed signs, road markings provide simple and intuitive signs for driver's.



Maps - Are a visual representation of an area. The map below depicts the City Rail network. The designer has used different colours to differentiate each suburban line and large text to highlight the main stations.


Instruction Manuals - Like assembly guides and how to's provide step by step instructions for solving a particular problem. Below is a guide for performing CPR. Outlined are the steps with the use of both text and images to aid in the explaning the process to the user in order to accomplish the task correctly.

Graphs, charts and tables - Provide a visual representation of data, illustrating important patterns or relationships. User's can spot trends and observe changes as data is altered.
