Information Mapping


Information mapping is a term used by instructional designers to refer to the proper layout of print materials or on-screen text. Formatting issues such as sidebars, running subheads, and structured writing are addressed, as well as the proper placement of illustrations and graphics. The term was coined in the 1960s by Robert Horn, who emphasized the importance of proper and consistent formatting for training binders. Today the term includes interface and screen design as well.
