Memorable “infographics” even in a society with too much information
Do you guys know what an infographic is?
An infographic is a method of conveying information or data in an easy-to-understand manner with diagrams and illustrations.
We live in a society with too much information, but there is a limit to the amount of information we can consume and our time.
Since information can be visualized and summarized on a single screen, demand for infographics has increased in recent years as designs that “do not require words” and are “easy to remember.” In addition to materials in the business scene, their use in everyday life, such as SNS and the web, is also spreading.

Curriculum
Creator
Yusuke Watanabe
I wanted to propose communication tools that make use of illustrations in my design work, so I started infographics.
Basically, the layout and illustration style are changed depending on the purpose and target of the project. We have created a number of infographics while considering the conductor of information collection, the unification of the worldview with surrounding design, and expansion to the web and printed matter.

We also have a lot of experience with infographics related to internal branding etc. of major companies such as Forbes and Sony.
