Hemos visto que cada día que pasa tenemos menos tiempo para asimilar una cantidad mayor de información.
Adicionalmente la información que se requiere analizar es cada día mas compleja y requiere ser tratada de manera que sea más fácil de asimilar a la primera vista.
Una alternativa a la que se esta recurriendo son las Infographics, que consisten en representaciones visuales de datos, información y conocimiento.
Los casos donde mas se utiliza esta herramienta es cuando el propósito es comunicar información conceptual, de la cual se requiere que la idea, intención, efectos queden marcados en la mente de aquellos que vean la Infographic.
Una de las limitantes que tienen las infographics es el costo de su elaboración, ya que en algunos casos se requieren profesionales en su elaboración, y su costo pudiera ser alto, sin embargo su efecto viral para algunas campañas lo justifican.
