Week 15- Pros Cons

Infographics can be very useful but they do have their pros and their cons. One pro that can come out of an infographic is that the infographic itself is easy to share. You can go anywhere on the web and see an infographic posted on almost any website or social media outlet you go on. Personally, all you have to do is save the infographic you created and then you have the ability to Tweet it out, put it on Facebook, or any other outlet. This is an easy way to get information out to the public or your friends. Another pro is that there is not any type of template that you have to follow when creating an infographic. They can be designed anyway your heart desires. The only thing that needs to be followed to an extent is that they are typically read from top to bottom or from left to right.

A con that can happen when posting an infographic online is that it can become hard to read if you have a lot of information on them and if you zoom in on it sometimes the images or text becomes blurry. There are steps you can take to make sure your infographic does not appear blurry when you zoom in but, unless you are computer savvy, the majority of people would not be able to figure it out. Another one can be that you have to use a legitimate source for all your information. You will have to provide links to your sources and have the ability to prove that they are quality sources.
