Principles of Visual Message Design
Using Infographics
Infographics are visual presentations of
information that use the elements of design to
quickly communicate an idea. Good infographics
attract readers and are viewed more easilt than
long text articles. Therefore, infographics can
deliver a message more easily which can be
spread around the world with the use of free
sharing tools.
Ways that infographics can be used:
• Presenting survey data-
Infographics are highly useful in
presenting results gathered from
survey data. When organized in an
infographic , it becomes much
easier and faster to draw meaning
from data.
Ways that infographics can be used:
• Simplifying a complicated
concept-The core purpose of an
infographic is to simplify a complex
idea which makes them great
educational tools, especially when
presenting an overview of a topic
instead of an in-depth analysis.
Ways that infographics can be used:
• Explaining how things work- in addition
to simplifying complex ideas, infographics
are often used to reveal the mechanics
behind how objects work. Skilled designers
can create infographics that pull apart
complex products like cameras,IPhones,
and clocks, and graphically explain their
core features.
Ways that infographics can be used:
• Comparisons- When drawing
coparisons,infographics help organize
similarities and differences by visually
creating parallels that complement the
information being presented. Comparisons
can be difficult to express with words,
sometimes to the point of being more
confusing than revealing to the audience.
 PRINCIPLES IN CREATING
AN INFOGRAPHIC
• BE CREATIVE-you can use the combination of text,
shapes, and images to present your message in a
creative way.
• BE UNIQUE-your message must be something people
can relate to, bt it must be presented in a unique way
to attract the viewers' attention. Present it in a
surprising and exciting way to draw attention.
 PRINCIPLES IN CREATING
AN INFOGRAPHIC
• BE SIMPLE- presenting a simple, yet elegant
design will attract more attention than cluttered
elements that may bore the audience. Too many
colors and pictures may be hard to understand
and distract the readers from getting the
message.
 PRINCIPLES IN CREATING
AN INFOGRAPHIC
• USE GRAPHICS AND VISUALS- You can illustrate
your point with pictures, typography and color.
• USE THE FORWARDING TOOL- It is important
that the viewer will be able to easily click “share”
after reading your infographic so that your
message can be forwarded and read by as many
people as possible.
