5 TYPES OF INFOGRAPHICS AND HOW TO USE THEM

 INFORMATIONAL INFOGRAPHIC
Informational infographics are hugely popular for use on social
media. The below example was created to visually enhance the
title of an article. By using icons, shapes colours and other
visual elements, emphasis was placed on the most important
information to help the user understand quickly what the article
is about.

 STATISTICAL INFOGRAPHIC

Infographics are highly useful when presenting results gathered

from survey data. Statistics and numbers can overwhelm
audiences, resulting in a loss of their attention. The use of an
infographic helps readers quickly obtain the most meaningful
data.

A statistical infographic puts the focus on your data. The layout

and visuals will help you tell the story behind the data and what
is most important for the readers to remember.

 SIMPLIFYING THE COMFLEX INFOGRAPHIC

The main purpose of an infographic is to simplify a complex

idea, specifically when presenting an overview of a topic instead
of an in-depth explanation. When complex topics and data are
presented in raw form (text), they can be difficult to deliver and
understand, but when they are condensed and shown visually,
they can become much easier to understand.

 PROCESS INFOGRAPHIC

In addition to simplifying complex ideas, infographics are often

used to reveal the details behind how intricate objects work.
Process infographics will allow you to simplify and clarify each
step. Most process infographics follow a straightforward top-to-
bottom or left-to-right flow.

 TIMELINE INFOGRAPHIC

Organisations use timeline infographics to display the history or

progression of something.

Using graphics or images to highlight important dates, or to give

an overview of events (for example, a project timeline) can help
the reader have a clear understanding of a timeframe.

5 Why are infographics used?

Infographics can be useful whenever you need to communicate

information quickly, or any time you want to make an impact
with your data or your message. In addition to grabbing a
reader’s attention, infographics are used to help make complex
information easy to digest. They are useful tools if you want to:

1.Provide a Quick Overview of a Topic

2.Present Survey Data

3.Simplify a Complex Concept

4.Explain How Something Works

5.Show the History Evolution

So, what do I do with an infographic?

Infographics are a way to dress up your content and capture the
attention of your audience. They are useful to use across
multiple platforms. For example, you can create an infographic
about your business’s product and share it:

 On your product page (showing how the product works)

 On your blog (split into sections to emphasise different points of
an article)
 On social media platforms (with link back to landing page,
product page, blog, etc.)
 In your email (as a way to break up the text – highlighting the
most important details you wish the reader to understand)
 As an advertisement (print or digital)

3. Clone Stamp Tool: To clone the same colors and patterns to other
places of the same image.

4. Rollers, Measuring, and Navigation: It helps in maintaining the size

occupancy of shape in a banner, Pampa late, paper article designing and
many more.

5. Magic wand: To select the same colored portion or a portion of an

individual layer for differencing from the image.

6. Marquee Selection: The tool has a crop, slicing, moving, etc., to adjust
the image and individual layers as per the required area and shape.

7. Zoom and Hand Tools: Both help in working on different pixel levels of
the image and move from one area to another on the working image.

8. Move Tool: Move Tools is used for moving images, layers, handling
folders, and to get information.

9. Lasso Tool: We can select an area in our image and work accordingly in
free space. Lasso tool has 2 more options like Magnetic Lasso and
Polygonal Lasso tools, which help in cutting the image portions exactly as
per requirements with high contract edges and selected boundaries.

10. Eye Tool: This adobe photoshop tool is used to Remove the unwanted
red-eye effect, closed eyes, pet eye effect in our photo. To get a visual
realistic feel of eyes to the people in the pictures.

11. Pattern Stamp Tool: It is used for Dumps or paints the same portion of
the area, which is taking as a reference to match patterns on images as
required.

12. Blur Tool: This helps in managing the soft and hard edges of the image
by adding a smooth and portrait feel to the images.

13. Sharpen Tool: Sharpen Tool increases the saturation, color

combinations, visual focus vies to the image by focusing on the soft edges
of the image.

14. Smudge Tool: Using the Smudge tool, we can give stimulation to the
image components of the image that can be dragged and pushed to set
them at the right place on the image. Fingers, stick, etc., can be moved as
wet paint by dragging in directions.

15. Sponge Tool: It helps in changing the color and saturation of an area.

16. Dodge Tool: It lightens the portion selected in the image and brightens
the portion with shadows.

17. Burn Tool: It darkens the area selected on the image, which helps in
adding detailing and highlights to the image.

There are few more tools that can be performed by configuring based on
the project’s demand; a few of them are recomposing tool, the Perspective
Crop tool, the Cookie cutter tool, Pencil tool Content-Aware Move tool,
Straighten tool, etc. We can switch between tools using keyboard shortcuts
to save time and increase efficiency. Good hands-on practice is required
for every individual who is interested to learn Photoshop.

Chamberlin-Moulton planetesimal hypothesis

The Chamberlin-Moulton planetesimal hypothesis is a catastrophic

hypothesis, proposed by Thomas Chamberlin and Forest Moulton in
1905, in which the planets of the Solar System are seen to arise from
an encounter between the Sun and another star.

In this scenario, the gravity of the passing star tears a succession of

bolts from the solar surface. Bolts coming from the side nearer the
star are thrown out to distances comparable with those of the giant
plants, while those from the far side of the Sun are ejected less
violently to the distances of the terrestrial planets. From the inner
remains of these bolts formed the initial cores of the planets. The
outer parts expanded and cooled into a huge swarm of solid particles
spread out in a disk rotating about the Sun in a plane determined by
the motion of the passing star. The cores gradually grew into planets
by gathering in the planetesimals, most of the growth taking place in
the outer parts of the Solar System where material was more
plentiful.

Eventually it became clear that, like other variants of the encounter

idea, not enough angular momentum could be conveyed to the
ejected material to explain the state of the Solar System as it exists
today.
