Aesthetically Pleasing

zoedoman — 2017-09-04 16:57:26 UTC

I think a good characteristic of any info-graphic is for it to be pleasing to the eye. This will get the readers attention, keep it and also help them remember the information easier

I would say that a good characteristic of an info-graphic would be that it is easy to follow. You don't want it to be too much or cluttered or hard to follow.

Length

It is important to find a balance between having an inforgraphic that is not too long or too short. It should be long enough so that you you can include all necessary and interesting information, but not so long that the reader begins to lose interest.

Specific audience

When creating an infographic, I think it is important to make sure that the information you present is targeted to a specific audience. That way, your infographic is to the point making it clear for readers to understand.

color/pictures

I think the reason these were so good was because they caught my eye and were easy to comprehend. The reason for this was because the creator included color and pictures to help capture my attention.

Color and short explanations

I think a good infographic includes a lot of color (something that grabs the readers eye immediately), with a short explanation of the content.

Color and Organization

jarompacker — 2017-09-07 20:01:19 UTC

What I noticed is that when the infographics were organized and that color schemes were involved, it really helped me navigate the image quickly. You don't want to feel like you are looking at an image for a long time to get what you need out of it.

Simple and Creative

What I think about when creating a successful infographic, is portraying the information in a simple and creative way so it gets the information across clearly, but in a fun form.

When in doubt, simplify...

Having built information graphics during my time with military and civilian newspapers, I can honestly say the best ones were those that packaged information in a simplified, easy-to-read format. Sure it's nice to use lots of art and a variety of color, but you tend to make things overly complicated as a result.

Fitting for its audience

I think one of the best characteristics of an infographic is when the information is conveyed in a way that best communicates to its audience. It is important to remember who you are speaking to.

Keep it Short

abtrfly3 — 2017-09-10 01:47:52 UTC

A characteristic of a good infographic is to make sure that you make each sentence or point short and concise. Not only does this make it easy for you reader to follow but it can make it easier for them to understand. I would also say to always remember who your audience is and try to format your ideas into something that they can understand and relate to.

Attention!!!!

baileyvoss — 2017-09-10 19:02:14 UTC

I think one of the best characteristics of a good infographic is color and bold letters. All of the images I pulled up on google were bright and eye catching. Catching someones attention is the first step in getting them to understand and listen to you.

Keep it Simple

caitlainmccarrel — 2017-09-10 22:30:46 UTC

The characteristic I think is the best is bright and vibrant but they were also simple didn't overload the graphic with to much text. Just enough to grab the students attention without things that could distract from the information.

Sweet and Simple

The information on each infograph was simple, eloquent and to the point. There wasn't an overload of information presented and each sentence was complimented with a picture that was eye catching. Many of the photos also presented the same information as the text.

Simple

I think the best characteristic of a good infographic is color. Not having something too bold, but making the colors vibrant enough to where they catch your eye and make you look at it. Not where it is distracting, but it makes the person think and show them what is being shown.

Bold and Simple

alanahknutsen — 2017-09-11 05:44:29 UTC

I noticed a trend of the word "simple" and I couldn't agree more. A good infographic is simple one due to the fact people will not look at them if they are to complicated. Keeping it simple gets the information to the point faster. Good infographics also are bold. With this is grabs the browsers attention and catches their eye.

Catchy Iconic

ruthpergande — 2017-09-12 05:54:33 UTC

I think what makes a good infographics great is when it boil down an idea to the roots. (insert tree roots here) For example, a simple visual about the landscape of public policy with an actual "landscape" cartoon creates word pictures in our minds. A concept becomes memorable for further consideration and interest. Thus, the term "icon" --something we all know and are familiar with connecting with a new way. <3 I love it.

Captivating

torilynnmayfield — 2017-09-13 03:41:33 UTC

As students will, no doubt, be reading and reviewing similar material over and over and over again I believe that a good infographic needs to be captivating, in a unique style. Maybe this is done with references to your class specifically, or to a pop star or something. But, there needs to be a draw into the information that makes the information seem new so that it holds the reader's attention throughout the entirety, without straying off topic.

simple and easy
