Information Design of a Pocket Dictionary English 392A Nancy Collins

Excerpt from pocket dictionary -An idea-based document -Rules of inclusion and exclusion -Inherent need for appropriate design

Audience -Students or other people looking for a quick and simple definition -NOT designed for ESL students or those seeking detailed definitions or background information

Purpose -To provide simple, clear and easily accessible definitions -To help with spelling, pronunciation and usage

Context -Physical document with high user awareness and low task-immediacy -Portable, fits into any bag -Paperback, cheap paper quality -Booky smell

Rules of Inclusion & Exclusion -Dictionaries are biased -This dictionary accommodates audience, purpose, and context by: -using current & core vocabulary -focusing on central meanings -avoiding technical language -providing additional information: word builder, usage notes (potential noise?)

How is this document used? -Searched & scanned and then read -Use directly impacts design

Dictionary Conventions -Alphabetical order -Page indexes -Consistency of entry structure

Information Design GROUPING -Proximity -Size -Bolding -Numbering -Use of lines and boxes

Information Design TYPOGRAPHY -Contrast between typefaces -Headwords are sans- serif and bolded; definitions are serif and normal

Information Design SPACE -Left justified -Definitions indented from headwords -Separate lines for separate things

Information Design GRIDS -2 column grid -Allows for faster scanning
