Infographics are visual representations of information intended to present data quickly and clearly. They have evolved for mass communication with fewer assumptions about reader knowledge. Infographics have been used for many years in newspapers and books to convey weather, maps, and data summaries. Modern transit maps use infographic techniques to integrate network layouts, transfer points, and landmarks. Infographics are widely used today due to tools that make creation easy and their ability to be shared on social media.
