__Infographics in Business:__ I personally have a lot of experience with infographics as I utilize them a lot for school but I can imagine that in business, the need for good infographics are even greater. They are often used in business to depict statistics in a way that is easy for anyone to understand and often is efficient in presenting reports to the company. A compelling and limited color palette often brings an infographic together, as shown by an example above. I prefer infographics like those because they are not only visually appealing but informative as well with their graphs and limited text. Text should be kept to a minimum for a successful infographic as to keep the amount of reading to a minimum and allow the viewer to understand through images. They are also effective in showing progress so businesses are able to see their growth depicted in a simple image and understand what is going well and what isn't. I specifically am doing an infographic on writing argumentative essays so using limited text may be a challenge but I wish that, in explaining the steps, I can use as many images as possible to catch and keep the attention of tenth graders. That is also important. The readability of an infographic is what essentially makes it successful because if the intended audience cannot understand the purpose or can't read it all, then the message is not clear. I intend to utilize a good blend of words and images to explain the process of writing a successful essay and I feel as if I can do this effectively as I have taken the class and have experience with the process. I will most likely include do's and dont's, and also use a historical theme as this is intended for a certain AP test. I will use solid colors and no graphs as the process of writing essays does not require them.
