Infographics

Infographics is super neat! When broken down, it's info-information shown into graphics, designs, and visual explanations. Infographics show representations or comparisons of things used in everyday life. I've never know what they actually were until viewing for class. I've always seen them in magazines, newspapers, etc., but never knew I could create one of my own. It would be nice if I could actually learn to create one, I will one day, but right now it's not working very well. Most of us have probably always looked at them as just graphs of statistics that has been put out there for us, but they are actually giving us accurate information about certain topics using visual representations and colors. I have posted two pictures of inforgraphics I found online showing the places where the wealthy shop and how the digital world is taking over how people in the UK pay for things. Not only are a lot of people in the UK paying for things using digital tools but the US as well because I'm a witness of it. I love online shopping and paying online for things versus mailing using a stamp or going to pay at the place of business. So, you should try infographics for your own personal reasons just for information, classrooms or family because it's really cool and helps to learn more about particular things. So stay tuned for my own created infographic. Not too soon, but eventually...
