Infographics

Infographic Definition:

"An infographic (information graphic) is a representation of information in a graphic format designed to make the data easily understandable at a glance. People use infographics to quickly communicate a message, to simplify the presentation of large amounts of data, to see data patterns and relationships, and to monitor changes in variables over time." = = media type="vimeo" key="25328216" height="375" width="500"
