What is an infographic? Infographics are meant to be “at-a-glance” methods of communication that provide information very quickly and through visual images rather through a lot of words. It’s best to present the information concisely and avoid using paragraphs or long sentences so the audience can take in the information at quick glance. The graphics chosen should also help the audience take in the message clearly and quickly.
