In today's era of big data, the demand for information visualization and globalization is increasing day by day. However, efficiently obtaining relevant information can be very time-consuming, and information graphics have become a popular solution to this issue. Many universities in developed countries have already incorporated education and research related to information into their curricula. However, in China, existing research on information graphic design mainly focuses on simple analysis, overlooking an in-depth exploration of its principles, forms, meanings, and functions. To address this research gap, this study aims to analyze the concepts and methods of information graphic design in art study abroad institutions. Through qualitative analysis, the researchers conducted interviews with portfolio institution teachers, students, and design professionals to collect data from different perspectives. The study compared various design approaches for information graphics and proposed insights. The research findings offer valuable methods and references for design practitioners and students, aiding them in enhancing their practical abilities in the field of information design.This research contributes to the development and application of the information design discipline, laying a foundation for future exploration of theories and practices in information visualization design.
