Information/Instructional Design - Examples

Train Station Routes

This is a classic example of an easily understandable information/instructional design. Each route is colour coded making it easier to differ each individual track. The stations are also easily evident through the use of a simple offshoot stroke defining the station. The name of each station is also neatly organised, making it easy to follow the intended route of the traveler.

No Parking Sign

These set of signs plainly point out that no vehicle is able to park on the side the arrow denotes during the period of time the sign displays. This is an effective piece of instructional design as it takes a large chunk of information and simplifies it using a mix of typography and symbolic design. To the viewer the possibly large amount of information has been made to seem quiet simplistic.
