Week 11 ~ Information Graphics

'A reporter writes using precise language, a graphics reporter uses the ‘right’ images to convey the most
precise meaning to tell a story' ~ George-Palilonis,




The consideration which I made in designing the information graphic is firstly to follow the rules and guides of making graph. The rules that govern all graphs like standardize the methodology for replication and giving clear information.  In order to let the users, in this case the shareholders, to attract their attention to view the report using information graphics, showing this graphs to them is not just for imaginative direction and fun, I consider it as a creative and fantastic mode to take complex or reports and deliver them in simpler ways that remain appealing and interesting to the shareholders.  

Using these charts, I believe the shareholders will not lost interest in the information that I am showing since information graphics is tended to assist with that a great deal.  In this situation this will help the shareholders connect with the information in a way they would not have necessarily been able to previously.

Ideas that might otherwise seem abstract like the complex IATA report, to the shareholders can be brought into more familiar and identifiable places through the use of common, everyday imagery. Using this information graphics can help the idea evolve in a way. The shareholders can be assisted in the connection of the related information to them in ways they had not been able to see before it is visually spelled it out for them. Hence, will further allow relating the information to other areas that the shareholders might not understand is impacted by this idea.
