What it means in plain language
Infographics are visual representations of information, data or processes using text, icons, charts and illustrations.
Where it genuinely helps
An infographic organises data and relationships visually, while decorative charts can also hide scale or source.
What to decide before acting
Begin with one question, choose the right comparison and show source, unit, period and limitations.
How to tell whether it works
Test mobile readability, contrast, narrative order, text alternative and proportional accuracy.
