When putting together a
project of any kind, you have to have the ability to think like a designer to
an extent. You have to be able to attract the eye of your audience and direct
them in the right ways to help get your point across. In Knaflic's book she
talks about a few different main points when talking about how we should be
thinking when putting together an infographic. The first is affordances, which
is the inherent qualities in an object they would make it obvious how to use
it. If the audience doesn't know how to understand your inforgraphic then it
becomes pointless. The second is accessibility. The infographic that you create
has to be easily accessible for everyone and have the information simplified
for everyone. The last point is aesthetics. This is so you can grab the attention
of your audience so you can get your point across clearly.
In the article from wsj.com
they talked about how fast 5G was compared to 4G and 3G. When 4G first came
out, i thought it was a lot faster compared to 3G, and it was, but now seeing
the difference between 4G and 5G, it does not compare. In the graphic provided
by wsj.com, you were allowed to interact with it and click a button to watch in
real-time how fast 5G really is compared to 3G and 4G. This infogrpahic had all
three elements that Knaflic talked about, it was easy to use, was easily
accessible, and it was able to grab my attention.
