What is an Info-graphic?

What is an Info-graphic?

An info-graphic is a visual representation of information, data or knowledge, e.g. as a chart or diagram, intended to present complex information quickly and clearly.
"A good info-graphic is worth a thousand words"
Info-graphics can be used to persuade/inform
Here is an example of a good info-graphic

Info-graphics should:
  • show the data 
  • induce the viewer to think about the substance rather than about methodology, graphic design, the technology of graphic production or something else 
  • avoid distorting what the data have to say 
  • present many numbers in a small space 
  • make large data sets coherent 
  • encourage the eye to compare different pieces of data 
  • reveal the data at several levels of detail, from a broad overview to the fine structure. 
  • serve a reasonably clear purpose: description, exploration, tabulation or decoration. 
  • be closely integrated with the statistical and verbal descriptions of a data set.

Problem Solving Methodology

Problem Solving Methodology

Is the VCAA Problem Solving Methodology the best one?
I think so, yeah.
Oh, you wanted information to back up my claims?
Well, no.

...fine
First lets take a closer look at the VCAA Method:


Lets compare it to some other methods.
The OODA loop (observe, orient, decide and act) is a military Problem Solving Method
















So, perhaps you noticed that this isn't quite finished. Hopefully this 'KitteninaShark.gif' is sufficient compensation. (っ╹◡╹c)
