Infographics is a science intended to summarize or simplify information, in addition to representing it through graphics conducive to user understanding. Diagrams, a series of graphics that are responsible for tracing the relationships and variations that the constituent fragments of a fact present, are the protagonists of infographics, since through them it is possible to transmit information quickly. It should be noted that the final product of this type is called an infogram.
The pictographs (drawings that make reference to an action) and the ideograms (symbols that go deep into the meaning of a word) are just some of the non - linguistic signs that also appear in the development of computer graphics content. When it comes to animated sequences, these images and symbols can be accompanied by very short descriptions that complement their meaning, as well as audio related to the topic.
A common infogram is the one that offers a visualization of a specific place, within which all the places available within it can also be located; shopping malls and metro stations are locations where this can be observed frequently, so that the visitor can locate their position in the facilities. Something similar to this is infoarchitecture, which seeks to recreate the desired environment, using different technical tools that are quite accessible.
In addition to this, this type of representation is also designed for educational and informational reasons, since, as mentioned above, with this tool it is possible to achieve information much faster. The scope that these can achieve is magnificent, since aesthetics, if taken into account as necessary, can be irresistible to the user and its dissemination would occur much faster.
