-Infographics are visual representations of information. Colorful and pictorial, they tell stories in a compact snapshot, conveying information clearly and quickly.
-An infographic takes a large amount of information in text or numerical form and then condenses it into a combination of images and text, allowing viewers to quickly grasp the essential insights the data contains.
