Informative Infographics

Inforgraphics are a visually appealing way to convey information in a quick glance or short read. The following infographic is an excellent example of something you might see on a university campus. It comes from the University of Central Florida (UCF) Office of Diversity and Inclusion.

This example is relatively recent, as it is from 2016. It is easy to read and contains quotes as well as some statistics (percentages). What I like most about this is that is offers information on both what UCF does well as well as the areas that need the most work. I can see this type of infographic being presented on any universty campus for the benefit of students as well as faculty and staff. It is not the most visually interesting infographic, but it is still eye-catching since it contains high-contrast text to background. The three main points in each section are easy to scan and read, and if someone is interested in specifics, the quotes provide additional information. While it is very wordy for an infographic, it does a good job of getting the main points across.
