Paradigm of Information Design in China (2009-2019)

This scholarly work presents a comprehensive set of design paradigm research models developed by the author, encompassing a design classification model, a relational model among paradigms, and a descriptive indicator system for design paradigms. These models were employed to decode China's information design paradigm during the pivotal transition from 2009 to 2019, a period marked by significant advancements in information technology in China. The book reveals us that, China is forming an information design paradigm that focuses on long-term benefits and balancing relationships rather than creating artifacts, which is dually affected by the development of global information technology and China's domestic economic, cultural, and design education development strategies. Design practitioners are more and more willing to set design goals from the perspective of the supply-side and are carrying out extensive design cooperation on data-driven platforms. Practically, grasping this emerging design paradigm is essential for practitioners to understand the latest trends in information design. Theoretically, the design paradigm models offer researchers valuable tools for their investigations.
