Topic: Infographics


In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
  AEJMC Archives -- September 2002, week 1 (#16)
Infographics are combinations of text and graphics and contain information, which is difficult to be represented through text or images only.
Infographics and Multimedia Communication Knowledge may be obtained in various ways and one is certainly mass communication and it's media.
When the different infographics used in the topic "European Monetary Union" were analyzed for their capacity to convey information, we discovered at least the tendency that unanimated graphics might be better suited for knowledge transfer than the other two modes of presentation.

 Infographics, Exploring Visual Information Design
Simplicity is not the primary objective of the infographic — situation awareness and understanding is.
The infographic can be a way to efficiently and simply communicate a context and gain a little perspective on what could be a confusing situation.
Consequently a sizable space in the infographic is dedicated to identify and design the rules, influences and systems driving the diagram people see.

 Enculturation of Infographics and the Discourse Communities That Create Them by Allie Dunn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The statement “clarifying the facts” shows how newspaper editors treat infographics as secondary to a text article, even though they are often read immediately after the headline of a story and often attract higher readership than the article they accompany (Harrower, 153).
If readership of infographics is higher than their articles, obviously readers think they can gather all the information they need about an issue from just perusing the graphic.
The discourse community that is presently influencing infographic design presently is the community of “graphic design” as opposed to the communities actually using the information.

 Using Infographics in Your Business Communications - Pear Logo Design Article 37
There are a number of different types of infographics but the most common ones are charts, maps, type-based and illustration-based infographics.
A type based infographic is just that - instead of relying on a lot of visual information, it provides condensed small bites of information in a graphically designed space.
Test your infographics - have 3-5 people read the content around the infographic and view the infographic and ask them "What does it tell you?" You will find out very quickly if the message you intended to send is actually there.

The infographics weblog is a running collection of links to infographics found on the web through my own research and the submissions of many individuals.
Often more powerful than words or imagery alone, infographics utilize visual elements of design and words to convey a message in such a way that context, meaning and understanding are trancended to the observer in a manner not previously experienced.
The idea for this infographic came to me while I was eating lunch today and I had to create it (using Adobe Illustrator)...the concept seems to capture Apple's strategy with the iPod Shuffle and Mac mini in the bigger picture sense (as I see it of course).

 IDblog: For the infographics fans
Since infographics are such a staple of information design (and in fact, for some folks infographics==info design), I can't pass this one up.
Infographics are somewhat expensive and time-consuming to produce, and are therefore in their nature providing context to whatever is going on on the ground.
This seems to me to be in the class of "all generalizations are false" kind of statements.
