Abstract
Today humanity is subject to unprecedented amount of information. This makes the information design a much more important subject for regulating the complex data and information traffic. Human mind can perceive visual information transfer very quickly and in a more efficient and permanent manner compared to written or verbal information transfer. Scientific researches on this matter indicate how effective the eyesight is in the process of presenting information and perceiving the message. Therefore, an increase has been noticed in recent years in the use of infographics to provide more comprehensible information on various media. The purpose of infographics is to present intense and complex data content in a regular and perceivable manner. Infographics present data, information and/or processes related to a certain subject in a story like visual arrangement. This visual story making may include various elements like image, illustration, typography, map and data visualization. Infographics which we see in static versions only in printed media are now available in different media formats. In recent years, interactive infographics applications with larger information capacity and more effective structure are becoming more popular. This study examines the content presentation types, functionality, differences from static versions and visual designs of interactive infographics applications within the scope of visual communication design which is increasingly more multidisciplinary field in line with the requirements of the information era.
