Information Interaction Design theory has three different disciplines: Information Design – the organization and presentation of data; Interaction Design- story creating and storytelling; and Sensorial Design – using the senses to communicate to others. Using these three disciplines to communicate information doesn’t just convey data, but creates an experience for the end user. In this day and age there is a barrage of information coming at us creating information anxiety and overload, Information Interaction Design has the ability to organize the information in a way that easier to understand.
Understanding starts with basic data. Data is simply the raw material that we use to build communication. Information is the transfer of the data in a message that reveals relationships and patterns that the data gave us. Knowledge comes from the understanding gained from experience using that information. Wisdom is a blending of all relationships and processes that are understood through the experiences we have. Combined with proper organization, clarity, and a clear goal and message, this theory of design allows people to have the most successful experience.
In the blog environment, Information Interaction Design would be very successful. You can use all of the senses to create an experience that will be more memorable and pleasurable for the user. Interactivity with widgets, games, surveys, and website links allow the user to be engaged with the blog, creating an experience that will bring them back to view the blog many times over.
The only con to Information Interaction Design is that there are few resources for learning about the practices for students of the theory.
I have completely changed my blog from nothing to a Christmas blog. I am hoping to make the blog informative with some interaction, particularly using the senses to make it a pleasurable experience.
