Infographics, or information graphics, are illustrative representations of information, data, or knowledge intended to present complex information quickly and clearly. Well-crafted infographics can support learning by using graphics to enhance the human eye's ability to see patterns and trends. Poorly crafted infographics can lead to misunderstanding and misinformation.
An infographic is a collection of imagery, data visualizations including different types of charts and graphs like pie charts and bar graphs, and minimal text that gives an easy-to-understand overview of a topic.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, an infographic (or information graphic) is “a visual representation of information or data”.
Infographics use striking, engaging visuals to communicate information quickly and clearly. They have become a staple for communication in classrooms, in the workplace, and across the web.
