What is an Info-graphic?
An info-graphic is a visual representation of information, data or knowledge, e.g. as a chart or diagram, intended to present complex information quickly and clearly.
"A good info-graphic is worth a thousand words"
Info-graphics can be used to persuade/inform
Here is an example of a good info-graphic
- show the data
- induce the viewer to think about the substance rather than about methodology, graphic design, the technology of graphic production or something else
- avoid distorting what the data have to say
- present many numbers in a small space
- make large data sets coherent
- encourage the eye to compare different pieces of data
- reveal the data at several levels of detail, from a broad overview to the fine structure.
- serve a reasonably clear purpose: description, exploration, tabulation or decoration.
- be closely integrated with the statistical and verbal descriptions of a data set.
