There is No Such Thing as Information Design

Jef Raskin, der Autor von "The Humane Interface", Mitentwickler von unser lieber Macintosh, und tausend andere geniale Sachen, schreibt:
There is No Such Thing as Information Design
As a curmudgeon, I am delighted to point out that the popular term, Information Design, is a misnomer. Information cannot be designed; what can be designed are the modes of transfer and the representations of information. This is inherent in the nature of information, and it is important for designers to keep the concepts of information and meaning distinct.
Information is an abstraction from any meaning a message might have and from any particular form a message might take.
