Information Design at Reading

Congratulations to our new graduates – incredibly proud to watch our PhD, MA and BA graduates come up to the stage this week to have their degrees conferred. It wasn't easy being a student during the pandemic and we're so proud of what you've achieved.

Pictured here after today's ceremony are some of our MA Communication Design Graphic Design and Information Design Pathway class of 2021 graduates, with their pathway lead Jeanne-Louise Moys joining them in the second photo.

Wishing you every success in your careers. Keep in touch!

How do we know to stop at a red light and go on green? When did the uppercase Q come to mean ‘queue’? What is it about application forms that put us off? And why do we read novels but scan maps, peruse contracts, and glance at motorway signs? Information design is both timeless and timely.

In today's Baseline Shift talk "Making the invisible sensible", Arjun Khara talks about how design is not a switch to be flicked on and off, but a dial we turn and tune and constantly adjust until we get a clear signal.

Arjun is one of our doctoral researchers and also teaches across a range of projects on the undergraduate programme.

Keep an eye out for the post-talk blog (written by our students) on http://typography.network/baseline-shift/

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week for our fabulous THINK RETHINK undergraduate degree show live event. Wonderful to see many alumni joining us. If you missed the live event, have a look at the website – some great information design projects in the mix:
