What is an infographic?
Whether it is public transportation information or patterns of disease outbreak, certain information can always be better conveyed through graphics. Infographics are graphic visual representations that present complex information, data or knowledge in a simplified way. Often, they employ visual aids to more effectively communicate patterns and trends.
What can my infographic be about?
Submissions may be on any topic related to urban or regional issues. There will be preference given to infographics that cover social topics, data or phenomena.
Some potential ideas: Urban sprawl patterns; social media activity distribution; walkable cities – a comparative study; disease outbreak patterns; etc.
