Information Design Process as Reciprocation between Understanding Activities and Designing Forms(1)

From the Viewpoint of Understanding Activity

Abstract

This paper describes what we found on design process, in a design project of web application for providing travel guide information, which was held in Tama Art University with third grade students in the information design course. In this project, we observed how the students developed their understanding of the reading activity, and how they feed their understanding into their design ideas. We discussed the reciprocating process between understanding human activities and designing forms, based on the analysis of design activities thoughts in the project.
