Design to Inform

by Josh Rubin

Next week in New York the AIGA presents a lecture Design to Inform:

How can design make information accessible, usable and perhaps even
sublime? Visual presentations and a panel discussion of designers
and a design critic will address the role design plays when trying
to foster civics, give vital information clarity or make large databases
public.

A panel discussion with Antenna, creators of the MTA Metrocard vending
kiosks as well as new IRT subway cars, and Plumb who designed the digital archive for the Experience
Music Project in Seattle. Moderated by design critic Peter
Hall.
