A little about infographics
Infographics are graphic depictions of complex information (e.g., knowledge, data, concepts, ideas, etc.). This medium relies upon visual elements to clearly
and concisely communicate complex information to diverse audiences. Infographics use evidence and practice-based
data, compelling statistics, easy-to-read fonts, complimentary color schemes, simple charts, bold graphs, and other
graphics to disseminate information in quick and easily digestible format.
An infographic should be:
Focused – one single message; emphasize its significance to you
Graphic – graphics and images tell the story
(fewer than 800 words total)
Ordered – the sequence should be obvious; simple flow paths and cues should guide the
reader
Be thoughtful when creating your infographic. The purpose of the Infographic is to convey useful information in a concise and visually-pleasing way.
