The Recursive Writing Process graphic. Adapted from "Writing as a Recursive Practice," by E. Down for College Reading and Writing @ UNE. Context: The term infographic is a portmanteau word combining “information” and “graphic.” In recent years, infographics have become a widely popular form of communication in both online and print magazines, company websites, and social media. According to Amy Balliett, CEO of Killer Visual Strategies, 65% of people are visual learners; therefore, infographics effectively engage and communicate information to diverse audiences by blending text and visuals. Often, organizations and associations use infographics to inform audiences of critical information. For example, when COVID-19 struck in early 2020, the Public Health Agency of Canada used an infographic to help Canadians prepare to quarantine. Other times, organizations use infographics to defend their position, such as this infographic from Restaurants Canada, which pinpoints provinces that should be more hospitable to the foodservice industry. Infographics can also summarize trends, such as this infographic from the Financial Post, which charts the rise of craft beef. Evidently, the ability to create infographics by transforming boring blocks of text into engaging and coherent graphics is an important employability skill.
