資訊設計是多元的學科領域

Information design is a new academic discipline, but it is not a new area of knowledge. Manuals and instructions have been preserved since the 15th century. Mijksenaar and Westendorp mention a fencing manual by Hans Thalhoffer(1443). This manual includes in wrestling and unarmed combat. From an instructional point of view, there was not much development in visual instruction language from the 15th until the 20th century. They concluded:

資訊設計是一個新的理論學科領域，但它不是一個新的知識領域。自從十五世紀，指南和指導已經被保存，Hans Thalhoffer(1443)為了Mijksenaar 和 Westendorp提及了一個有力的指南。這個指南包括在格鬥和赤手空拳的戰鬥中。從一個教育觀點，十五到二十世紀的視覺指導語言沒有足夠的發展。它們包括：

The next major advance in visual instructions occurred during World War II, when the military used pictorial language to train soldiers. The Walt Disney, for instance, adapted its cartooning skills to create training documentation and films such as the movie employed Mickey Mouse to explain how to use a Browning.50 water-cooled machine gun. The defence Industry in general also played a role in augmenting and applying visual instructional language during this period.

視覺指導在下一個主要的進步發生於第二次世界大戰，軍隊利用圖片語言訓練軍人。例如華特迪士尼公司，調整他的漫畫技巧去創造培訓文件和電影，如利用米老鼠去解釋如何使用Browning.50水冷式機槍。在此期間，國防工業大抵扮演著增加及運用視覺指導語言的角色。

Since the introduction of the personal computer there has been a rapid development in the production of information materials. The availability of and need for information as the basis for decision-making is continually increasing. Now an increasing number of decisions are being made on the basic of pictorial representations. Visual messages are a powerful from of communication. Visual messages stimulate both our emotional and our intellectual responses and therefore make us think as well as feel. It can be concluded that the ability to communicate visually is becoming more and more important.

自推出個人電腦後，出現了快速發展生產的資訊媒介。供應及需求是資訊不斷增加的基礎決策。現在，越來越多的決策以基本圖像表現。視覺化訊息是個強而有力的溝通。視覺化訊息刺激了我們的情感和知能反應，並且讓我們因此思考和感覺。它可以結論出，視覺化的溝通能力變得越來越重要。

A group of design disciplines all deal with the “design of massages.” This group, messages design, is an interdisciplinary area of knowledge. It encompasses influences and facts from more than fifty established academic disciplines and established area of research (Figure 1). The main areas of research may be divided into six groups with “base disciplines.” However, also other groupings are possible.

設計的學科領域都在處理"設計訊息"。資訊設計，是一個跨學科領域的知識。它包含的影響和事實從50多個學科中成立，並設立其研究領域。主要的研究領域可被分為六個基本的學科。然而也有可能有更多的學科。
