“Information design is a very broad field that looks at how we engage with information,” says Kim Albrecht, a data visualisation specialist who has been working as a researcher at Boston’s Center for Complex Network Research since 2015. He defines information design as spanning everything “from brochures to emergency plane landings to railway station signage”. With his focus on data and information visualisations, he aims not only to help people gain access to the sea of digital information, but also to navigate that sea and thus make meaningful use of the available data.
