A key factor in signage design & information graphics is the choose of typography, with the choose of typeface you are able to make or break a design and its functionality. In the book is explained how to choose a typeface and what characteristics a certain typeface needs to have in order to be used in signage systems.
Uebele mentions different typefaces that they used in projects and explains the differences between the mentioned typefaces. A good introduction into choosing a typeface for signage & information graphics. Further on in the introduction the book goes deeper into designing for signage and which methods to use in order to achieve an effective signage & wayfinding system. With various examples and drawings you quickly read how and what to design.
Sign Design
The book explains how to use proper color systems and how to place them into a environment to create a good working signage system. The author explains why they have chosen the color combination, typography and size of the airport signage project described in the book.
A great insight in learning more about signage design. Further on there are more projects described and explained with extensive photo material and the actual production drawings. By the drawings you can get a good view of how the signage systems are designed and produced.
Signage projects from other designers
In the book are also described many other projects from different designers and design agencies than Buro Uebele, for instance Schiphol designed by Bureau Mijksenaar. There are various images and concept drawings aswel as the detailed information about typography, color use and more. By adding more information from other designers makes this book a must have reference guide into graphic design and signage systems. You get a clear insight of signage projects which control people in various fields of visual communication and showing them the way.

This part closes off with documents, graphics and text about the history of information design.
Part 2: Theoretical approaches
This part shapes the mind for graphic literacies for a digital age. With a visual rhetoric in information design for multimodality and genre.

The book is carefully researched and put together, a true bible for information design. A recommended buy if you are into learning more about information design, graphic design, wayfinding and structural layouts and design strategy.
There could be somethings said about the consistency of writing throughout the book, although it didn’t bother me while reading topics. From my person experience, I am reading topics upon required to learn something about a topic in information design.

and Wiki service which will be available during the

The workshop is an opportunity to consider the implications for
university-based Web sites of the use of external, embeddable commercial services.
As embeddable services and communities increasingly dominate, Web sites are evolving
into Web presences, with implications for marketing, functionality and evaluation.
We will look at some examples from Higher Education Academy Subject Centres' use
of services such as YouTube, Google Books and PBwiki, consider some risks and
benefits and invite participants to share their own attitudes towards these services,
whether pro or con.
The session was facilitated by Dr Martin L Poulter, University of Bristol

B1: How Do I Implement Enterprise Information Architecture?
By www.ukoln.ac.uk

Keith Doyle, Salford University explains that the aim of information architecture is to improve the information ecology which is made up of the interaction between users, content and context. What is the process and methodology required to develop an information architecture? What are the key tools and enabling services which are required to implement information architecture? How is this process evolving at Salford? There will be a chance to look at the information architecture of institutional web sites, tips for improving the design of sub-sites, and we will look at and discuss real world examples.

During Keith Doyle, Salford University talk, delegates will discover
how, by taking the information architecture approach as their next step, they can
improve the user experience and business benefits. Information architecture gives
delegates a framework and benchmarks for managing web provision at an institutional level.
This should be an engaging and entertaining talk which would help delegates decide
whether a formal IA role is appropriate to their organisation. Helping delegates
consider their institutional strategic approach: What is IA? How is the role
covered at the moment? Should it be a specific post rather than something that's
squeezed in with everything else we do?

Plenary Talk 4: Delivering Information: Document vs. Content
By www.ukoln.ac.uk
Published On :: 2006-06-15
Kate Forbes-Pitt, Systems Manager, Web Services, London School of Economics will talk about aims aims to problematise the document, asking the following questions: what is a document?
How does it impart information to its reader? Can it be replicated on screen? It proposes answers using the arguments of Hughes and King (1993) who contend that the document is a layered social artifact that exists to 'wrap' content. This 'wrapping' provides the reader with the knowledge they need in order to apply social rules to their reading of the document, and so become able to interpret its content. Some information systems writers argue that the need for social knowledge in a task negates the possibility of its automation. Following the logic of this argument, delivering a document (a container of rule) through the existing set of social rules that govern Web interaction, means that the full function of the electronically reproduced document becomes masked or confused.
At best this makes the role of the document superfluous to its content, making the content difficult to interpret. At worst it makes the content incomprehensible to the user. This raises a further question: what purpose is served by reproducing documents online? Following from the above arguments, it is possible to argue that 'pure' content, rather than the imitation of printed paper, is likely to be a more successful way of imparting information through the Web.
