Getting information out to people is quite complicated. How it is distributed can be how well you do. Anything that requires human interaction requires communication, from small projects to major corporations trying to make tier business work. Since it's so important to transmit information, there are many ways to do so. One of these ways are one of the oldest ways to do so, other than telling somebody, and that is to have a big block of text that details everything you need to know. It's so old, that all major forms of business is done to standardize it, and make everyone understand the universal language of long boring paragraphs.
But, with modern times, many people have been more accustomed to an Infographic. An infographic is a document, but instead of being a legally formatted, hard-copy to study and mull over, it's an image that shows and doesn't tell what the oh so important information is. This premise has been around very recently, with the rise of bigger corporations in the mid 20th Century, people had to make ways to show information in one singular, all encompassing image. This image has taken many forms, with graphs, pie charts, stat lines, and bar graphs being examples. An image can easily compare, count, and organize what information a person needs to know with color, percentages, and shapes to tell what they want to communicate. This became common business practice, and a staple among the boardroom discussions and meetings. But, it was used more of a summary page for previous points, and usually accompanied someone's droning voice reading out paragraphs of text. This is when the infographic started being developed more, as time grew on we have found more creative ways to make not a summary, but a whole point with images. As there are now more emphasis on images, with shapes all over the page to help organize, colors to draw attention, and words not being the base, but now the add on to images. This makes it much more engaging to people reading, as infographics don't all look the same anymore, and now take less time either, one read over summarizes whatever point is being made. This is becoming more and more popular, as our modern society 2010s develops more ways to use the bare minimum of communication, people have now essentially made information intake faster and shorter, improving work and understanding for all. Which is How Infographics Draw Attention.
