Definition of a Infographic
• A picture is worth a thousand words• “inviting as infographics are the ability to
make them does not replace strong reading and writing skills” (Jaeger, 2012).
• “Infographics require deep understanding of the subject, the ability to summarize details and synthesize knowledge, and the creative spirit to wrap that knowledge up in an appealing way” (Jaeger, 2012).
