Design Considerations – Preparation for Creating a Logo and Infographics

What Is the Difference Between an Infographic and a Logo? – What Are Infographics?-1
Today’s beginner graphic artist, who is training in graphic design, would likely develop a logo first before creating an infographic. Infographics must be more accurate factually, while a logo we can consider more like an ancient stamp. Yes, it represents a company, but in a more abstract and sometimes ambiguous way, it is just a design. What it actually represents may not be important as long as it satisfies the client. This is not to say that creating a logo does not take time and effort. But with an infographic, often the design is more elaborate requiring many components or steps, and you really need to do your research to…

1801 AD–1900 AD – What Are Infographics?
Playfair also began creating the circle pie chart to show the part/whole relationship in 1801, but this particular chart did not become popular until Florence Nightingale (1820–1910), the founder of modern nursing, began using it more frequently in 1857 in the form of a polar area diagram, or similar to a radial histogram. Nightingale’s “Rose diagram” was used to explain patient mortality in the military field hospital she managed during a specific year. A copy of that chart was sent to Queen Victoria the following year. Refer to Figure 1-11 and Figure 1-12. Figure 1-11. Pictorial timeline of 1801–1900 AD Figure 1-12.

Ancient History–Pre-1600 AD – What Are Infographics?
One of the earliest forms of drawings that you are probably aware of is the cave paintings of Lascaux near Montignac, France. Some anthropologists believe them to be around 17,000 years old (15,000 BC). While this is considered an example of Paleolithic art, some anthropologists and art historians wonder, “Could this be a representation of a past hunting expedition or some type of mystical ritual?” For today’s modern viewers, we cannot be sure as there is no text or familiar icons that come with the drawing, so we are left unsure as to the artists’ true intentions. At the very least, it does give us a clue as to what…
