Explanation
An infographic is a chart, graph, or illustration that clearly conveys information or data. A food pyramid or plate, divided into the components of a healthy meal, is a familiar infographic. You might spot an infographic near a hand-washing station in a school or a restaurant, illustrating each step in the process of thoroughly scrubbing your hands with soap and water. Some infographics are simple charts featuring weather predictions or sports statistics or graphs of how high the tide is. Others are more complicated, with colorful cartoon figures explaining how to beat stress or do CPR. The word is a compound of information and graphics.
