infographics Analysis
Infographics are excellent tools to attract the attention of a public and present information quickly and clearly. The design that I chose for this project is the perfect example of this, as it effectively summarizes the elements and general trends that are found in a typical piece of this kind. It consists of a description of what should be part of an well-developed infographic in terms of design and content. The goal of the message is to guide anybody that is trying to create one, by advising them on what are the most popular elements that these include. Based on this goal, its intended audience is most likely to see this infographic in educational websites, design classrooms, or even in a school library.
The viewers of this piece can derive from it almost everything they need to know about what constitutes an infographic. Since I am a college student taking a design course, I am exactly its intended audience, and I can relate very closely to it. This infographic reinstates some of the content that we have been learning in this course like the different types of graphs, and the most popular fonts and colors that are used; while also it provides me with new information like the most popular themes and countries that are featured in them. It is especially helpful for me because we are currently studying about them in our class, and since this assignment is an analysis of infographics and I chose an example that also talks about infographics, it is essentially “meta.” From this design any viewer can gather facts like the key information, the different sections, and the average number of credited sources and titles that they should include in one.
With so many elements to take into consideration, creating a fine infographic for the first time can be an overwhelming task to successfully accomplish. This “infographic of infographics” is an excellent tool to guide students like me, my classmates or any person that is looking to create or become familiarized with graphics of this kind.
