Infographics Poster: COVID-19
What is an Infographic?
​
An infographic (information graphic) is a representation of information in a graphic format designed to make the data easily understandable at a glance. People use infographics to quickly communicate a message, to simplify the presentation of large amounts of data, to see data patterns and relationships, and to monitor changes in variables over time.
The brief of this class assignment was to design an infographics poster for the most affected countries due to CoronaVirus following a specific design style. And for my project, I have chosen minimalist design style to create my poster.
​
The main idea in minimalist design is to say more by showing less. Minimalist design is clean, crisp and timeless. Unnecessary objects and flourishes are left on the drawing board. Only the absolutely necessary is included to get the message across. Most minimalist designs include a lot of white or empty space. Even though white is the color of choice for most minimalist design, that doesn’t mean that others colors can’t also be used. White space can be replaced with black or blue space, as long as the other elements are minimal. Minimalist graphic design follows a few key rules:
-
Less is more
-
Keep it simple
-
Leave empty spaces
-
Use only the bare necessities
-
Implement a flat design
-
Keep it balanced
-
Use grids to maintain order
