Infographics, Technical Skill and Creativity
May 18, 2010
Infographics, also known as Information Graphics, are special visual representations of different kinds of information. Also data or specific knowledge can appear inside these representations.
Why we love the Infographic? Infographics are used in many projects, when there’s a need to explain something very quickly and clearly. As example, you can find Infographics in signs, maps, articles.
There’s a need for these visual representations also in science projects (are widely used by scientists, and stats or maths specialists).
In newspapers, Infographics are used to show the weather as well as maps for news events and images for statistical data. Information graphics are used also in books, especially science books, where scientific explanations are illustrated by graphics, diagrams, systems.
A very easy example to understand what is an Infographic can be found in traffic signs, where stylized human figures and cars, icons, emblems and similar graphics are used to explain caution, direction of traffic and other traffic situations.
If you have in mind also a technical manual, like a mobile phone or electronic device manual, you can find Infographics there as well (diagrams and also common icons to highlight warnings, dangers, and standards certifications).
Used as expression of technical skill and creativity, and also as a modern visual language, Infographics is a form of Art, combining tech data with artistic images.
