Use of Interactive Infographics in News Sites
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
The most effective way to describe any thought or information is to use visual items. The human mind perceives the transfer of visual information in a much shorter and more permanent way than it does in verbal or written form. Since the beginning of the transmission of information in written form, many different subdomain schemas, graphs and maps have been used and the information to be transmitted has been visually coded. Infographics, which are the presentation of complex information or ideas through visual representations, have developed through many different stages and have been used in many different areas. The main purpose of infographics is to combine knowledge and design to enable visual learning. When designers create infographics, they need to use things in a balanced way, such as colour, typography, and symbols, as they do in other design products. One of the main uses of infographics is also news reporting. When newspapers started broadcasting on the internet, infographics were moved to the digital platform and interactive designs started to come to the forefront. These studies, based on the principle of interactivity, aim to enable readers to easily examine large sets of information and relate different data using the screen surface effectively. The world's leading newspapers aim to create teams in data visualization and infographic issues, making news content more understandable, memorable and remarkable. In the scope of this paper, the interactive infographic works of the world's leading newspapers and news channels published on their websites were examined and discussed in the context of information transfer, interactivity, and graphic design principles. Keywords: Infographic, Interactive Media Design, Communication Design, News Websites, Digital Media
