Week 16a Information Graphics Design

Infographics 

An infographic is a form of information in a graphic format designed to make the data easily understandable at a glance. People use infographics to quickly communicate a message, to make the presentation of large amounts of data, to see data patterns and relationships, Infographics are used on a everyday basis by people all over the world. Infographics are in almost any public environment, examples include: traffic signs, subway maps and weather charts.The term infographics originated from Information+Graphics, in French infographie = Informatique+Graphique. In Italy the first occurrence dates back to June 6th 1991 (translated from French) in a piece about Communication Theory by Roberto Escobar. Infographics are used by all levels of management for high-level views of data. Infographics include bar graphs, pie charts, histograms, line charts, tree diagrams and mind maps. Infographics predate writing as a means of presenting information but cave drawings are probably the earliest known unofficial example. People were also creating and using maps before the invention of written language.
