Infographics
Information graphics are visual devices intended to communicate complex information quickly and clearly.
In prehistory, early humans created the first information graphics: cave paintings, later maps and now charts.
Today, infographics are traditionally viewed as visual elements such as signs, charts, maps, or diagrams.
Why bother with infographics?
- To transmit or communicate a message.
- To present large amounts of information in a compact and easy to understand way.
- To reveal the data.
