2. Info graphic artists are creators of
professional presentations. Information
is collected and presented in a graphical
format to the audience. These are then
understood more easily and better. It is
important to synthesize the given
information and create the images in a
fashion that depict the data as well as
written text in an accurate manner.

3. However graphic creativity is only a
part of the story, there are other
elements to it which are equally
exciting.It is your understanding of
research and depicting the visual
communication in such a way that
your research is more accessible,
acceptable and interesting to the
audience.

4. 1. Information
In journalistic infographics, information is top
priority. The goal of the graphic is to give
information. Design in this discipline is a tool,
not a goal. Rigorously making information
more accessible and understandable take
precedence over aesthetics. Spectacle just for
spectacle doesn't help the reader.
2. Organizing Information
Graphics are fast reading elements. The
infographic artist must organize the content to
guide the reader and not waste his time.

5. 3. Color
To guide the reader, color could be our best
tool. And it doesn´t matter if we print in
B/W. Clear tones for the less important,
dark tones for those elements on which we
want to focus more attention. John
Grimwade and his 'red line' became
famous for his good use of color on info
graphics.

6. 4. Clean and Clear
If we want color to be the focus of
attention, the rest of the elements
should be clean and clear, not just
their tones while also avoiding
horrible vacuity. Baroque graphics
usually doesn't work on newspapers.

7. 5. Show, Do not Tell
Always keep this saying in mind.
Newspapers are full of text so use graphics
to explain things on a visual way.
Compare and Measure
6. In journalism, context is very important.
Infographic artists help in establishing
context. Comparisons, measurements and
actual scales make information easy to
understand in many cases. For example, the
steps of Buzz Aldrin on the moon:

8. 7. Don't break scales (if it's not
absolutely necessary)
On many occasions, especially on
economic issues more than anything
else, we break the scale to show a trend.
But we're changing the real trend in
doing this. If we have to do it, include a
locator of the actual scale.

9. 8. Documentation
To develop good graphics, we need
huge amounts of data of specific
nature. A graphics needs more
information than text. A text could
say 'in Somalia', whereas an
infographic artist need to be able to
place the exact spot on a map.
