Yes these are three different types of design, all having different outcomes and methods to their ways. As I mentioned Interactive design is where the user is able to interact with the design it self. Information design however is more to the point of relaying data in a clear way.
Personally Im studying this at uni at the moment (so lets hope this is right) and have come to the conclusion that there is a great deal of information out there that is not clearly represented, this then either leads to the reader being misinformed or confussed. Examples such as the ones I found on this website http://www.digitaltip.com.au/index.php/category/information-design/ are great for explaining easily what I mean.
The fourth image down ( Which I have posted on this blog anyways) is an example of a grpahic representation of everything this particular designer talks about in his own blog. The larger the word then the more he talks about it simple right? The pie chart thats directly underneath it is a very bad use of representation and doesnt tell the user much and is far less clearer.

- Im a uni student currently studying Visual communications at UWS, for those of you that look confused its basically graphic design. Im writting this blog on topics that are related to one of my units - Interactive design, dont know if you got that by the title or not. Anyways I hope to inform you on things like web 2.0 and what exacly is the difference between interactive design and information design.
I just found another rather delicious website on informtaion design, it contains graphs and the like but in a humorous fashion, Its not 100% relevant and some of them are terrible which makes it a nice comparison, take a look.
