Using Your Infographics
Some of the uses for an infographic design are as;
- A Recruiting Tool for employers to advertise an available position.
- Presenting Survey Data in clear charts and graphs. Numbers and statistics can be presented.
- Simplifying a complicated concept into a more clear and coherent format.
- Explaining how something works such as how a engine works or how power is generated.
- Draw Comparison between two or more things. Such as similarities and differences between two products e.g. coca cola and Pepsi.
- Interesting Facts such as how a product has changed over time e.g. the telephone or the automobile.
- Where words just don’t work a design often works better to make it more easily understood. Such as a Foreign Language concept that doesn’t have a concept in English.
- Raise Awareness of social issues for example pool safety, environmental waste etc.
- Inform Consumers of issues that are relevant to them , and why it is important to them so they can make informed decisions when they purchase something such as a new car or a home appliance.
