CHAPTER 9: INFORMATION DESIGN BEST PRACTICES This book is not intended to be an instructional on how to design infographics, but rather how to best apply them to your communication strategies. However, it is necessary that you have a sound understanding of the basic principles of information design if you are going to be involved in the production process with a designer or in the publication process as an editor. As such, Chapter 9 will give you a cursory knowledge of the dos and don’ts of infographics, so that you can identify their misuse and guide the process of making them interesting, informative, and effective.
