Definition//

Interaction design is the art of facilitating or instigating interactions between humans, mediated by products. By interactions, it is meant that it can either be one-on-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many. The products an interaction designer creates can be digital or analog, physical or incorporeal or some combination thereof.Interaction design is concerned with the behavior of products, with how products work. An interaction designer's time will be spent defining these behaviors, but the designer should never forget that the goal is to facilitate interactions between humans. It's not about interaction with a product or interaction with a computer but rather about making connections between people.

The organization of data into comprehensive and logical information for users is known as Information Design. It has come to surface as a reaction to people’s essential need to understand and utilize information such as using a computer interface and completing forms. Its principal focus is about how we humans interpret what we hear and see into coherent information. Is a growing field that branches into graphic design, typography, ergonomics, computing studies, literature etc. Designers primarily consider the skill, purpose, age and preferences of the intended user so that they are able to present information in various forms into structured data in a clear and comprehensible manner. Data is usually structured into hierarchy or instinctive groups that enable users to easily navigate through it, for example in alphabetical order, in categories, location and time. Successful information design allows users to access information with ease and caters towards diverse need of each of these users.
