Tools to Create Infographics
Infographics define how a picture is worth a thousand words. If you want to show to your readers what a specific topic is all about, should you bore them with words? Or should you empower their mind with digestible information through fun colors and images representing your explanation. It transforms complex information into graphics that are easy to grasp and is visually appealing.
The only problem is, if you look at infographics, they look complicated as if not all people can do it. Of course, if you can't you have to hire someone to do it for you. However, the thing is you can't just give money to someone and expect the results are always what you want it to be. You'll have to spend a lot of money to to get what you want.
Not everyone can make infographics from scratch, but there are tools available on the web which will help you create one. And the good news is, they are all free! Now I got your attention!

StatSilk is a web-based and desktop software to make data analysis easy, and enjoyable. It has all the tools you need to cater to your mapping and visualization needs. You can visualize nearly every indicator of economic, social, and human development on StatSilk. It's really worth a look but be warned because you are very likely to get yourself absorbed in it.
Information Literacy is an important skill for the 21st century do to our busy and always on the move schedules. Recognizing when information is needed and being able to efficiently locate, accurately evaluate, effectively use, and clearly communicate the information, will help out when time is of an essence and the information needs information.
Answer: Graphs are necessary to study the general trends and have a quick look of the data; however, the summary indices are necessary to interpret results accurately. Graphical presentation is not that accurate as is the summary

What are graphic organizers? Graphic organizers are maps or charts that essentially reveal the organization of concepts and relationships of concepts in a straightforward manner. They help to make information more precise by cutting out a lot of the small details to allow focus on key points. This helps to lower the cognitive load on ELLs allowing them to process less heavy amounts of information all at...
Information literacy is very important nowadays because we are in the information age now and there is a lot of information on the Internet.
Visual Analytics is defined as a multidisciplinary for interaction in both behavioral and technical science. Visual Analytics is interactive visual representation of information by analytical and statistical approaches. In the above figure 1, it describes the building blocks of visual analytics. The main focus of Visual Analytics is on cognitive science, information science, mathematical approaches and graphical representation. Cognitive science is a scientific research discipline which describes “detect the expected and discover unexpected”. There are different types for representing information and one among them is visualization. Displaying information visually is easy to make decision. For displaying information, data is to be organized in a different pattern by using different mathematical and statistical methods. That information is displayed by using pictorial and graphical representation....

Edward Tufte in his seminal work The Visual Display of Quantitative Information explains, “Graphics reveal data”. “Indeed graphics can be more precise and revealing than conventional statistical computations.” (Tufte, 1983)
Use appropriate tools that support data gathering (e.g. affinity diagram, brainstorming, fishbone, flowchart, force field, how-how, interrelationship digraph)
There is a way for visual thinkers to understand information better by making mind maps. Mind maps show the ideas, concepts and relationships between things (such as objects, actions or people/animals). These ideas and concepts are connected by lines and together they form a clear summary, but also diagramming and outlining
A subcomponent of written communication is visualizations. Visualizations as discussed earlier can be as simple as a picture or graph and most commonly used in aviation as maps and charts. Most newer aircraft display a moving map to increase situational awareness and geographical location of the aircraft. This visualization tool quickly and precisely indicates where the aircraft is located so
This project is designed to demonstrate the ability to use Python for Graphics programming. Creating graphic related objects in Python is relatively easy. In this Project we made use of the Graphic module. This module allows for graphics related object be created with relative ease. The graphics module is a versatile module package in which multiple object related images can be created in Python.
Computer Graphics is the bond between humans and computers. Computer graphics is a large field that branches into almost all fields of computer science; however its roots are young. Computer graphics has massively grown over the past 40 years and is now our primary means of communication with computer applications. Do to technological limitations in the 1950s, computer graphics began as a small, specialized field. The Whirlwind project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is marked as the origin of computer graphics (Machover 14).
Title: Compare and contrast the presentation of visual information in two different types of media today, focusing on how effectively the information is communicated.
Pictures, images or graphics are a very useful way of brightening up a document and making it more appealing and interesting for the end user. Graphics can be added to Word in a variety of ways, including inserting; Pictures, Clip Art, Shapes and SmartArt. When images are added to a document it is important to consider the graphic formatting options available, such as cropping, wrapping, styles, effects and position (graphics will be discussed in detail in LO2).
