Infographic describes it simply as a visual representation of information and data.

Infographics have the power to present complex data in a concise, highly visual way.
When done right, they tell data stories effectively by making information easy to digest,
educational, and engaging.
Good infographics need to be focused with a clear idea of who the target
audience is and what the core message will be.

A good infographic is like a good story.

It has the ability to walk you through different phases, offering you facts and intriguing
visuals along the way. You can control the flow of your infographic using numbers,
headers, color, white space, pictures, and of course - charts. Your number one job is to
show people the data. This is why you should aim to have the proper balance of charts
and visual elements. While your data might work with multiple chart types, it’s up to you
to select the one that ensures your message is clear and accurate. Always follow best
charting practices. The key thing to remember when designing infographics is that
simplicity is key.

Infographics are a valuable tool for visual communication. The most visually
unique, creative infographics are often the most effective because they grab our
attention and don’t let go. But it’s crucial to remember that the visuals in an
infographic must do more than excite and engage.

Infographics are often confused with data visualizations. Differences are not so
apparent to a casual observer, and there is a lot of misinformation out there. It is
commonly thought that these two are completely different - but they are not. Both are
visual representations of data. An important difference is that a data visualization is just
one (i.e. a map, graph, chart or diagram), while an infographic often contains multiple
data visualizations. A second key difference is that infographics contain additional
elements like narrative and graphics. Besides that, more work tends to go into the
design of infographics, to make them more impactful and aesthetically pleasing.
