Both informational and instructional designs come in a variety of forms. This post will show you some aesthetically pleasing works that have been done.
These images are apart of the 2006 Feltron Annual Report. Feltron have been known to have an appealing, modernized and definitely not mind-numbing approach to their annual reports. As you can tell just by looking over the images provided, they have only used a minimal color scheme. This creates a harmonious appearance without losing the goal of presenting their figures for that year in a clear and effective way.
These images are found in a pharmaceutical book called Nobrium: Towards True Precision in the Control of Excessive Anxiety by Mervyn Kurlansky. The book’s purpose is to show and educate on the scientific study of anxiety. The images have a contemporary feel even though being made in 1971. The colors are vibrant and look almost cartoon like. But in saying this, it does not diminish the usefulness and purpose of this book. Stating what each image is (from top to bottom): Cover, The neuro physiology of anxiety, Anxiety in the body and Anxiety: A physical profile.
This is an instructional design example about how to furoshiki. Furoshiki is a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth. In the Japanese culture, it promotes caring for the environment and reducing waste by using an eco-friendly wrapping cloth called furoshiki. Using techniques similar to origami, it can be used for gift-wrapping, grocery shopping etc. This image provides us with multiple ways in using furoshiki so it can be used on more then one occasion thus reducing waste.
Another instructional design example is a book called Show Me How – 500 Things You Should Know. This book is full of step-by-step guides from serious (repair ripped jeans and fold his clothes for travel) to more humorous guides (fire-roast a tarantula and wrestle alligator). All of the designs are in a simple cartoon style to carry on the idea of simplicity. Reference
