Abstract
In this article, we start from a literature review on the concept of Information Design and analyze how and why the hermeneutic process of knowledge construction can be applied to visual information systems. We present several typological approaches associated with Information Design, such as Diagrammatic Design, Schematic Design, Infographic Design, and Wayfinding Design, sometimes with common or different graphic characteristics, the greater or lesser complexity associated with it and how the elements that constitute the language and visual grammar contribute to the organization, systematization, and understanding of the information produced in this context.
