Comments:

  • You shouldn't use regular a href links--just put the term in double brackets Infographics
  • Read over the material carefully--there is a number of misspellings and grammatical errors
  • There is some problem with a few of the references--be sure these wil work on the final page

Visual Rhetoric and Inforgraphic

[edit]

Infographic are a graphic visual representation of information, data or knowledge intended to present complex information quickly and clearly [1] Although they may seem to be relatively new they have been dated back to the time where cavemen would paint on the wall. Infographics often use several rules out of Timothy Samara’s twenty [2]. Often they show up as marketing poly. Infographics are a part of the visual rhetoric family since they use visuals to communicate the information.

Infographics have the aims of amplify cognition of patterns and trends in abstract datasets, by developing effective mapping techniques for representing values in visual forms [3]. By creating infographics to view information it helps to place the chunky data into a more easy to understand format. Besides marketing purposes infographics are often used for science purposes. A rhetorical element of infographics allows for multiple different visual interpurtation of information [4]
