The International Journal of Multimedia & Its Applications (IJMA) Vol.9, No.4/5/6, December 2017 DOI: 10.5121/ijma.2017.9602 15 INFOGRAPHICS IN EDUCATION: REVIEW ON INFOGRAPHICS DESIGN Husni Naparin and Aslina Binti Saad Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Tanjung Malim, Perak, Malaysia ABSTRACT One way of handling significant amounts of information is through visual. The infographics can transfer knowledge about a topic faster and more effectively than pure text; however, this condition is depending on the quality and presentation of the infographics. This paper is intended to investigate infographics in various areas and then focusing on its application in education. Besides, designing aspect of infographics was explored since it is important for designing good quality of infographics application. To achieve this objective, a total of 55 articles from four databases covering the period from 2004 to 2016 were analyzed based on their setting. The analysis showed that 30 articles discussed the infographics, eighteen articles elaborated infographics in education field, and seven articles immersed on infographics design. Infographics design techniques in various areas can be implemented in designing a good infographics application for teaching and learning purposes. KEYWORDS Infographics, Infographics in Education, Infographics Design 1.INTRODUCTION Studies show that the utilization of modern technologies in classrooms gives learners the opportunity to learn faster with better function and with more satisfaction from their class attendance. The attraction of infographics seems to be inherent within their nature, since people are drawn to the visualizations, colors, and images of the infographics itself. An infographic can transfer knowledge about a topic faster and more effectively than pure text; however, this condition is depending on the quality and presentation of the infographics. Infographics have permeated the culture as a leading form of information display and communication. They can be seen everywhere from business and news to social media websites. Infographics are also unique visualization, since they combine beautiful visualization with an impactful way to deliver direct information and also can be used as the learning tool in education for teachers and students. It has been demonstrated that infographics can be used to advise non- expert audiences so they can make informed decisions about what messages they want to deliver based on their own needs. Infographics are considered as a part of information visualization. It is a research field that focused on patterns and trends in abstract data sets and can support for designing infographics to have maximal effect. The field of information visualization is combining concepts from computer science, data mining, cognitive science and graphic design. This is relevant as the ability to collect, store, and manage data is increasing quickly, our ability to understand it remains relatively constant. Infographics is data visualizations that present complex information quickly and clearly which includes signs, photos, maps, graphics and charts. Infographics are visual representations that integrate information derived from data and graphics to convey a message. These visualizations are frequently used to aid in data interpretation. Currently, design guidelines for infographics exist broadly under the umbrella of several disciplines that include semiotics and graphic design
