Topic 2: ADVOCACY INFOGRAPHICS

ADVOCACY – as defined by Merriam-Webster is the act of supporting a cause or proposal: the act
or process of advocating. Today, the adaptation and improvement of the technologies can now
serve as a platform for solving local and global issues through advocacy.
These include solving gender equality, economic, agricultural, and industrial problems,
government accountability and transparency, educational dilemmas, crimes, religious conflicts,
climate change, and more.

RESEARCH FOR CONTENT


According to Western Sydney University, “Research is defined as the creation of new
knowledge and/or the use of existing knowledge in a new and creative way so as to generate new
concepts, methodologies, and understandings. This could include synthesis and analysis of
previous research to the extent that it leads to new and creative outcomes.”

INFOGRAPHICS - According to the Oxford English Dictionary, an infographic (or information


graphic) is “a visual representation of information or data”. An infographic is composed of a set
of collection of various imagery, charts, and text that gives an easy-to-read and easy-to-
understand synopsis of a certain topic or issue.

STEPS IN MAKING INFOGRAPHICS

1. Outline The Goals of Your Infographic


• This is the hardest part which talks about what should your infographic be about. What
is the core message you want to deliver and how will you deliver it?

2. Collect Data in your Infographic


a. Self-Made Data: this approach requires more time for you to ask around, send some
emails, do research online, create your survey, and process your conclusion.
b. Data Sources: this is the easiest way to gather information to get ready-made
information that you can find in books, magazines, newspapers, and the internet.

Visualize The Data in Your Infographic


a. Statistical Infographics: shows a summary or overview of data with one or more graphs,
tables, or lists.
b. Timeline Infographics: shows the progress of information over a chronological time
period.
c. Process Infographics: demonstrates a linear or branching process as how to teach the
workings of an object or flow chart showing choices in a decision process.
d. Informational Infographics: are most likely a poster that summarizes the topic with some
extra bits of information.
e. Geographic Infographics: displays data with a location map.
f. Compare/Contrast Infographics: illustrates notable similarities or differences as a “this
versus that” infographic or as a table or simple list
g. Hierarchical Infographics: demonstrates a chart with levels.
h. Interactive Infographics: gives viewers the control to modify the infographic and is web-
based.

Layout The Elements of Your Infographic Design


This step is all about placing them all together into an attractive-looking infographic design. You
can create a natural form of information flow using the question pyramid you developed in the
first step.

Add Style to Your Infographic Design


This is about putting your style and personal touch, just be creative in combining text, shapes,
and images in your most creative way.

Ways that infographics can be used:


1. Presenting survey data - Infographics are highly useful in presenting results gathered from
survey data.
2. Simplifying a complicated concept - The core purpose of an infographic is simply a
complex idea which makes them great educational tools.
3. Explaining how things work- Ideas and infographics are often used to reveal the
mechanics behind how objects work.
