Some graphic designers started to use the term, and it was consolidated with the publication of the Information Design Journal in 1979, and later with the setting up of the related International Institute for Information Design (IIID) in 1987 and Information Design Association (IDA) in 1991.
See mõiste konsolideeriti ajakirja Information Desing Journal avaldamisega 1979. aastal ning natuke hiljem selle publikatsiooniga seotud International Institute for Information Design (IIID) asutamisega aastal 1987 ja Information Design Association (IDA) asutamisega aastal 1991.
