Infographs portray information in a visual way - rather than using paragraphs to display information, an Infograph will use pictures/charts/graphs to show the information visually. We will look at a couple of infograph examples to help guide you.
Some helpful tips …
- Keep your graphics simple
- Graphics should relate to the topic
- Use the shape of your infograph to help tell the overall topic
- Some words are important - but main idea should be grasped through the visuals used
- Be creative!
