Infographic

Overview: An infographic is, according to Bernard Marr, "an artistic representation of data and information using different elements such as: pictures, graphs, diagrams, narrative, timelines, check lists, etc." In writing across media, we use infographics as a visual medium. Infographics can often represent significant arguments, messages, and stories through the use of one visual. With the advancement and improvement in digital technology, it is becoming easier for anyone to create infographics for purposes of their choice. It is becoming a more common medium since more individuals have access to creating infographics and they are a simple way of relaying a large amount of information in a small amount of space.
