InfoDesign is an open access, peer reviewed, double blind pioneering journal in the field of Information Design. Since its inception in 2004, InfoDesign, founded by the SBDI (Brazilian Society of Information Design), has been at the forefront of promoting scholarly discourse and advancing research in Latin America and beyond.

Over the years, Information Design has evolved into a mature and multidisciplinary field, embracing a wide array of topics and technologies. A critical examination of this period offers unique insights into issues related to representation, rhetoric, cognition, emotion, visual design, aesthetics, and methodologies, while also fostering interdisciplinary dialogue.

We welcome submissions on the following themes, but not limited to:

  • Historical and critical analyses of the past 20 years and beyond in Information Design
  • Advances in research and production within Information Design
  • Innovative activities and practices in Information Design over the years
  • Revisions of qualitative research methodologies in Information Design
  • Timelines mapping the evolution of Information Design in both research and practice
  • Reflections on past approaches in Information Design
  • Development of methodological frameworks and evaluation methodologies in the field
  • Challenges faced and future research agendas in Information Design 
  • Practitioner's point of view
  • Teaching and learning Information Design

We invite researchers to contribute their insights, experiences, and perspectives to this special issue, shaping the discourse on the past, present, and future of Information Design. Submissions undergo rigorous peer review and adhere to a double-blind review process.
