Task : What is Infographic ?
From this task I learnt about infographic and I do some research about it.
I have read a book about infographic and for what I understand is infographic is about a data that we interpret it into data visualization. In infographic content less word but more to symbol and image to deliver a message to the audience. Other than that as a designer when we want to make a infographic we should know who our audience.
The infographic usually have many color so that it will look attractive and it should be simple but have all the important information on it. In 2001, Dr. Edward R. Tufte, one of the pioneers of modern data visualization and professor emeritus of political science, statistics, and computer science from Yale University, clearly explained this phenomenon when he stated, “Of all methods for analyzing and communicating static information , well-designed data graphic are usually the simplest and at the same time the most powerful "
