They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Along those lines, infographics aim to convey a lot of information in a compact space and in a visually pleasing way. However, not all infographics succeed at that. Effective infographic design is about synthesizing all the necessary information and presenting it in an easily consumable way. This is not always simple. Many of the people who need infographics are experts in their given field and know all about the information on their infographic. But not everybody is design-oriented, and people often come up with infographics that are difficult to understand for anybody who also isn’t an expert in the field.
Infographics can contain several different graphical representations of information, including:
Effective use of colors and fonts are crucial to infographic design as is spacial awareness. You want to present your information in a visual concept that catches the readers eye without having to explain the data. This is more of an art and part science of understanding the audience and the message of information being presented. Good infographics gets your message across in a visual world with less text and more visual representation. Don’t make the audience read your message, let them absorb it through a visually appealing graphic that they will remember.
