In today's post, I want to talk about the graphics with more than one part (as the ones uploaded before), but from another perspective.
On last post, I talked to you about the fact that graphics have to be structured from more important info
rmation to less important one in order to guide the viewer through the graphic and make him be interested since the beginning.
But, the fact is that we, as journalists, have to take care of the graphic we are going to use on our articles, because a very complete infographic can lead our text out of place. To explain my last sentence, I just will say that sometimes, if the graphic is co complete that represents all the information, the text becomes a redundant feature due to the fact that the graphic will be the first thing read, contrary to what we want, that is that our articles have be read!
We, as journalists, have to care about our work and have to make our texts attractive more than our graphics in the sense that if our graphics look more attractive than our texts, our texts won't be read!
An example of very complete infographic that maybe rests attractiveness to our texts is this one:
So, my advice is that no every graphic can be together with every article, and that always the infographic has to be a complement of the text and has never to contain the whole information that the text explains in order to be entropic or clarifying instead if redundant.
I hope you found t useful!
