Info-Graphics and You!

Salutations once again children of the night,

Today we are here to discuss the wonders of the humble 'Info-graphic' and how it can aid you in your many endeavors throughout your journey on this earth.

Firstly, an Info-Graphic is generally a visual representation of information and data in a way which is quite easy to grasp, most of the time Info-Graphics take complex and copious amounts of raw data and turn it into a visually pleasing soiree of ideas and persuasive graphs and information.

'Example of an infographic'

If you're going to make an amazing info-graphic your going to need to use some of these very valuable points which will help you to make a graphic worthy of your dungeon

"Graphical displays should:

  • show the data 
  • induce the viewer to think about the substance rather than about methodology, graphic design, the technology of graphic production or something else 
  • avoid distorting what the data have to say 
  • present many numbers in a small space 
  • make large data sets coherent 
  • encourage the eye to compare different pieces of data 
  • reveal the data at several levels of detail, from a broad overview to the fine structure. 
  • serve a reasonably clear purpose: description, exploration, tabulation or decoration. 
  • be closely integrated with the statistical and verbal descriptions of a data set.

Any hew I believe that this will have wet your appetite as far as i'm concerned and many more juicy tid-bits of information are available at the above links.

For now I must bid thee farewell.

~ As always, Your Faithful Dungeon Master :)
