HOW ANALYZE A INFOGRAPHIC?

Hi followers!!

There are a simple way to analyze a graphic that I want to share with us. With a different parts at two levels, 'more complex and deeper', that have the abstraction, the functionality, density, multidimensionality, originality and novelty. And the other level is 'more intelligible and shallower' that contains the redundancy, familiarity, unidimensionality, lightness, decoration and figuration.



Now I will go on to develop these two levels from this Infographic of Enric Trias.


As we can see this is an info-graphic about the 4 countries in the south of the European union and their rates of unemployment, the changes among a year and the comparation with other countries.

Figuration in this graphic is less present that abstraction, because the tools that Enric has used are abstract. These figures are not icons, less danger signal that enclosing the number 4. We can see too, that this informationgraphic is more functional than decorated, because only have three different parts but has not any kind of special decoration. Is more lightness than density because doesn't appear much information and the information is clear and orderly. Only has one dimension, for this reason is an unidimensional graphic. The way that Enric represent the information is more familiar, the familiarity is basic in this project. Finally, novelty plays and important role in this graphic because the project is not redundant.

To sum up and to do the conclusion I can say that is a easy graphic to understand the colors that were used are a good option for represent the European Union Labors. The combination between green and red and a little text in blue is a good idea. 

If you use this way of analyze an info-graphic you understand the information easier.


I hope you will use it, bye!!
