Infographics combine visual elements like images, charts and maps with text to clearly communicate complex information or datasets. There are several types of infographics, including statistical infographics that use graphs and charts for quantitative data, timelines that show chronological sequences, process infographics that depict step-by-step processes through diagrams, and map infographics that represent geographic data spatially. The ultimate goal of infographics is to present intricate information in an appealing and meaningful way that reveals insights to viewers.
