5. Art can be subjective, it can help artists to express their feelings.

Scientific illustration (one of the disciplines infographics are based
on) must be precise, technical, objective, reliable. There must be a
correspondence between reality and its representation.

7. This means that even when we create a spectacular infographic,
the illustrations should be as precise and proportional as possible
