Infographic Overview:

An Infographic graphic visual is a representation of information, data, or knowledge and is intended to present information quickly and clearly.  Infographics can improve cognition by utilizing graphics to enhance the human visual system`s ability to see patterns and trends.  An Infographic assists with understanding information, especially for visual learners.
