INFOGRAPHICS A VERY IMPORTANT TOOL



Indeed cctionline.org has opened our eyes and I think it will continue doing the same. we were asked to create an infographic from what we had learned. I have been hearing about infographics but I had never tried to create my own didn’t knowing the treasures behind it, now this was my chance to try it out and i was very ecstatic. Infographics are visual presentations of information that use the elements of design to display content. And one interesting thing about Infographics is that it expresses complex messages to viewers in a way that enhances their comprehension. We now know that Images in infograhics are often an extension of the content of a written article, but infographics convey a self-contained message or principle and this one impressed me so much.
If a road sign has too much information on it, then it is difficult to read. Infographics compress and display this information in a visually pleasing way so that drivers don’t miss the message. Infographics communicate complex data quickly and clearly, and they are considered to be effective worldwide. And this is what I like about this tool, when a complex piece of information needs to be described quickly, precisely and clearly, a graphic is suitable.
Infographics are used for the following reasons:
  • To communicate a message,
  • To present a lot of data or information in a way that is compact and easy to comprehend,
  • To analyze data in order to discover cause-and-effect relationships,
  • To periodically monitor the route of certain parameters.
There are so many Infographic tools to use easily; the only bottleneck has been the use of the available tools to create something meaningful. So planning for the info-graphic in advance very essential.
The reason as to why I decided to choose Piktochart is because it is very simple learn, It has a walk through tutorial that helps you get well vast with its  features.
Please feel free to read through my infograhic by following this link
