A. INTRODUCTION

1. Short Description

In this teaching material you will learn infographich This part provides materials
related to the definition of infographics, the structure, the language features, as well as
the information to create effective infographics. Infographics are used as a powerful tool

2. Relevance

When you need to give someone a really quick rundown on something that can be

The technological devices of information and communication are developed to

deliver valuable knowledge quickly, regardless of the place and time, novel media
demonstration formats emerged. Infographics are examples of this format, which use
graphic visual pictures to show the information, knowledge or data effectively

Presenting information through visual components enables you to display a

certain condition in an organized way. The visualisation plays an important role
regarding the purpose and characteristics of the information being conveyed, and of
course the characteristics of learners. Meanwhile, graphics are among the visuals
components used to bring information.

Do you know this picture?

Task 1

1. What is the picture talk about

2. What information is presented in the text?

3. Is the media is simple way?

After you answer the task you can conclude what is an infographic

An infographic is made from graphic information, representation of visual

graphic information, knowledge or data words, which aimed to show complicated
information fast and clearly (Newsom and Haynes, 2004). It may be called as data
visualization, information design or architecture of information based on its target. The
cognition can enhance the graphics by using the system of visual human to see tendencies
and patterns (Heer et al, 2010).
b. Characteristics of Infographics

There are a number of things that should be taken into consideration when
creating an infographic. Here are nine key characteristics to keep in mind:

Visual Interest.

Think about the sorts of things that catch your attention. When you’re walking
past a rack of magazines or scrolling through a web page, take the time to notice the
colors and formats that grab and keep your attention. If you want people to pay attention
to your infographic, you can’t just do the same old thing – you have to be engaging and
innovative.

a.Theme.

Be as specific as you can be when it comes to theme. Just like when you write
blog posts, if you keep your facts too general you won’t attract as much attention. A
targeted theme that combines your company’s interests with a creative flair is always a
great choice.

b.Detail.

The ability to share a lot of information in a small amount of space is part of what
makes infographics so powerful. Be sure to invest equal amounts of time and
consideration into both the data you share and the manner in which you share it.

c.Meaning.

There are a lot of ideas that could have insightful visual representations, but not
all of them are relevant to your business and what it is trying to convey. Give your design
some weight by relating it back to your company and its goals – anecdotal evidence is a
great way to get people to listen and relate to what you say.

d. Action.

An infographic that just repeats information without putting any spin or analysis
on it is not something that people will be interested in. In order to be interesting, a design
has to have “action” – it has to do something. It can compare or define or teach or list, but
it must serve some sort of interpretive function.

e. Color.

Color is a powerful thing. An easy go-to color scheme will include colors that are
already in your company’s logo or website design, but in different shades and tones so
they won’t blend in too much with your website, blog or print media. If you want to go
further, consider that different colors are known to convey different moods. Blue, for
instance, calming  – if your goal is to communicate a calm vibe, then a blue color scheme
could work for you.

f.Typography.

Fonts can go a long way toward supporting different themes. For example, a font
like Courier New is great for a graphic that uses a lot of technical information, because it
has a clean look and is legible even at very small sizes. As you would with color,
experiment with typography to find the right blend for your infographic.

g Distribution.

Throughout the entire creation process, keep in mind how you plan to get your
infographic onto the web and make it easy and appealing for people to share..

h.Social.

Social platforms may be the best way to share your infographic once it has been
published – tweeting, bookmarking, sharing, and posting to B2B social media platforms.
There are a number of different social channels that can serve as vehicles for your
infographic, from Facebook to Twitter to Tumblr to Flickr and beyond.

c. Generic Structure of Infographics

 Task 2

1. What is the point of the infographic above?

2. Where can you find the short explanation of the point?

3. What details can you find in the above infographic?

4. What can you conclude about the information provided in the above
infographic?

5. How can you be sure that the information is valid?

6. After responding those questions, can you mention the generic structure
of an infographic?

So, when you are about to make infographics, the followings are the structure of
an infographic:

a. Headline/ Title

Your headline should tell about the whole gist of your infographic. It is better for you to
make it short yet interesting.

b. Beginning/ Introduction

This part contains sentences describing your infographic. Your introduction

should grasp your reader’s attention.
 c. Middle/ Main Infographic Content

This is the main focus of your infographic. Here, the main idea of your message is
broken down into smaller sections by using subtopics, subheadings, supporting sentences,
and data visual elements.

d. End/ Conclusion

You summarize and reinforce your argument in this part. You can write what you
want your readers to do.

e. Sources and Footnotes

Do not forget to cite your sources if you are using sources apart from your own, for
finding relevant data for example.

d. Social / Language Function of Infographics

According to the use and the goal, the followings are some major types and
functions of infographics:

1. Statistical Infographics

Visual elements are perfect for inducing certain emotions in your social media
audience, which is why infographics are great for storytelling.

2. Data Visualizations

A popular way to use infographics is to visually represent complex data. Through data

visualization, dense information can be shared witt the audience faster and more
efficiently.
 3. Anatomy

Using visual elements is a great way to break down technical information, making
it easier for the audience to comprehend. Use an infographic that breaks down
information into its core components.

4. Processes and How-To’s

process is quite similar to a timeline. They both follow a single flow and are
typically accompanied with directional cues like arrows and numbers.There is, however,
a key difference between the two. Unlike timelines, processes do not depend on the
progression of time. They focus on the actual events instead of when they occur.

5. Comparisons

It means you can utilize different elements such as charts and tables. This allows
you to perform comparisons in more creative ways.
Here is an example of a comparison infographic:

6. Lists
a list infographic do not follow a specific order – with the exception of “top” lists that
arrange items based on a set criteria. Regardless, everything in a list must collectively
form a cohesive thought or relate to a single topic.
 7. Maps

Map infographics are exactly what they sound like. They make it easy to share
information tied to geological locations. The visual elements you can use range from
heatmaps, color codes, icons, and other data visualizations

e. Language Features of Infographics

Some language features that you can follow to make a good infographics are as follow:

1. Informative

You need to be informative, accurate, and revealing the message. You need to
make sure that through your infographics, you can add values that a text alone cannot
communicate. In general,your aim is to bring clarity and understanding where there is
complexity and confusion.

2. Engaging

Use the language that invites people to explore the information and help them find
relevance and context. Stimulate them so that they will want to spend time reading your
infographics.

3. Accessible

You need to communicate to the readers with the clearest language and the
simplest techniques.

1. What is the text about?

 2. What is the author’s purpose for writing the infographics?

3. would you classify this type of infographic?

experience, and improve your comprehension on this topic, either with other
participants or instructor. Therefore, you should get involved in this discussion forum.
