Term2.png INFOGRAPHIC
Blend of the words ‘information’ and ‘graphic’, the term indicates a visual representation of complex data or concepts through images, colours, graphs and illustrations. They are designed to make large amounts of complex data understandable ‘at a glance’; in fact, the visual element enhances the decoding and retention of the message. Well-designed infographics have perceptual, motivational, and cognitive characteristics that make them exceptionally valuable for instructional content, including improving:
  • clarity and conciseness
  • ability to make sense of complex information
  • focus on key information
  • engagement
  • ease of remembering.
This type of visual representation is used worldwide in every discipline and many examples can be found in our everyday environment, from street signs and underground maps, to weather charts and newspaper articles.
