Vision Plus 11: "Needs, Trends and Themes for Information Design"
07 - 09 July 2005, Urania, Vienna, Austria |
Vision Plus 11 is the eleventh in a
series of innovative symposia on information design building upon each other.
Former conferences took place in Austria, Great Britain, Japan and the USA.
To facilitate understanding the
information designer needs to acquaint herself/himself with complex subject
matters. Subject matters with real challenges and above average rewards.
Vision Plus 11 will focus on the
development on information design as a distinct profession and area of
expertise. The symposium will be carried by the IIID Board Members and invited
speakers, who will discuss the development of information design subject areas.
