An infographic is a collection of imagery, charts, and minimal text that gives an easy-to-understand overview of a topic. Infographics not only includes text and images to transmit abstract information but also makes the entire graphic more visually appealing.
Infographics are great for making complex information easy to understand. They can be helpful anytime you want to:
Provide a quick overview of a topic
Explain a complex process
Display research findings or survey data
Summarize a long report
Compare and contrast multiple options
Here are some examples of common infographics and best practices for each type:
Statistical infographics: Put the focus on data.
Informational infographics: Clearly communicates a new/specialized concept or provides an overview of a topic.
Timeline infographics: Visualizes the history of an event or timeframe.
Process infographics: Provides a summary or overview of the steps in a process.
Comparison infographics: Offers an unbiased comparison of two options.
