I’ve seen a lot of infographics in the past couple of
years. I can’t decide whether I like the
trend or not, but I have to admit that the simple graphics often get me to stop
and look at the information. I guess
that means they are successful in conveying the information.
I wanted to actually
try to make an infographic, so I tried using I Visual Info Touch Lite for this
thing. I did watch the YouTube
introduction first. The app program was
very easy to use (the hardest part was deciding what to make an infographic
about). I thought that the collection of
images other than shapes was odd in this free version. If I end up using this app regularly, I will
probably upgrade to the paid version just to get a wider variety of
images. (I can’t see myself using the
guns in any library related material, but it would be nice to have a larger
variety of animals and other icons to use).

I can see that my library board and city council would be
very happy to have information presented to them in this manner. Several often ask me for charts for
statistics or flowcharts for procedures to help them understand things; this
would be one more way to give a visual along with the written information for
those who process material in that way.
