Abstract
Health-related information design has made a difference to people’s lives through clear explanation of procedures,
processes, disease prevention and maintenance. This paper provides an example of user-centered design being applied to engage
people with the prevention of drug-resistant infection. In particular, we focus on antibiotic resistance in the specific location
of a community pharmacy in Rwanda. We describe an information campaign, Beat Bad Microbes, and summarize the challenges and
opportunities of working in Rwanda on a cross-disciplinary project in which design research and practice are closely
integrated.
期刊介绍:
Information Design Journal (IDJ) is a peer reviewed international journal that bridges the gap between research and practice in information design. IDJ is a platform for discussing and improving the design, usability, and overall effectiveness of ‘content put into form’ — of verbal and visual messages shaped to meet the needs of particular audiences. IDJ offers a forum for sharing ideas about the verbal, visual, and typographic design of print and online documents, multimedia presentations, illustrations, signage, interfaces, maps, quantitative displays, websites, and new media. IDJ brings together ways of thinking about creating effective communications for use in contexts such as workplaces, hospitals, airports, banks, schools, or government agencies.
