There's no Escaping GRD...

Since we've been talking about information design in this class, and just finished a project on it in Laura's class, I thought this may be interesting to some.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_design

To me, it's interesting how wikipedia sometimes explains things. If you go to the link above, wikipedia describes information design when dealing with graphic design, history, statistics, technology, etc. I feel like there is a disconnect between them. I understand that information design does have a role in history, statistics, etc., but when it comes down to it, it is always graphic design. And they fail to mention that. Maybe I'm nitpicking, but it is a common theme, I've noticed, that people do not realize graphic design is really everywhere.
