Information graphics or infographics is a graphic visual
representation of information, data or knowledge intended to present complex
information quickly and clearly in one page. Infographics take complex
information and data sets and make them easy to digest in a visually
stimulating design. This allows the viewer to quickly grasp the main points
from the data or information, which is important in our 30-second society. In a
way, it is like making entire PowerPoint presentation in one long page, with
nice design and consideration for overall visual attractiveness and easy comprehension.
And if you got the idea, and want to make your own project with idea to boost your Internet presence and promote your resources, you can use several free resources, which will help you to prepare the visually appealing project:
