especially when presenting an overview of a topic instead of an in-depth
analysis.
Explaining how things work-In addition to simplifying complex ideas,
infographics are often used to reveal the mechanics behind how objects
work. Skilled designers can create infographics that pull apart complex
products like cameras, iPhones, and clocks, and graphically explain their
core features.

organize similarities and differences by visually creating
parallels that complement the information being presented.
