defined:

An infographic is a collection of imagery, data visualizations like


pie charts and bar graphs, and minimal text that gives an easy-to-
understand overview of a topic.

The 4 Parts of an Infographic
Introduction: An info-graphic is a visual representation of information. It
sends images and texts to send a message to the reader in a concise and
strategic manner.
1. The First Impression:

 Gives the reader a first impression of what the text is going to present
or argue.
 Sets a mood for the text using images, color, font, words, and
numbers.
 When analyzing the first impression you want to address "what are
the first things you notice?"
 Now then, what stands out at second glance?

2. The Story:

 What is the main argument of the infographic? Normally you will find
it in the title.
 What are the main points of the infographic? Normally you will find it
in larger font.

3. The Data:

 What are the supporting details of the main arguments?


 How are the presented? Numbers, images, text, a combination?
 Does the creator provide the sources of the information and do they
seem credible? Use Fact Checking

4. The Strategy:

 Where does your eye travel?


 How is the information presented? How is it laid out? What is the
tone--funny, cute, dramatic?
 How is color used?
 How are images used?
 How is font used?
 Who is the audience?
