This document discusses how to create infographics using Adobe Illustrator. It defines infographics as visual representations of information designed to convey data quickly. Illustrator is recommended for infographic design because it allows for smaller file sizes, faster loading times, and effective data visualization through vector graphics that can be scaled without quality loss. The document outlines Illustrator's vector tools and environment which empower designers to convert raster images and text to editable vector points for customization across programs like Photoshop and InDesign, making it a powerful and versatile software for infographic creation.

3. WHAT IS INFOGRAPHICS
An infographic (information graphic) is a representation of
information in a graphic format designed to make the data easily
understandable at a glance.

are just a few examples, among a huge
number of possibilities.

26. WHY ILLUSTRATOR

27. What is Ai?
adobe illustrator is a program developed and marketed by Adobe
Systems which is used by both artists and graphic designers to
create vector images.

28. vector images
vector art is creating objects, such as
rectangles, circles and etc.

29. By noting the mathematical coordinates of
these shapes, a vector program can store
files in a fraction of the space as raster
images, and more importantly, be able to
scale images to virtually any size without
any loss in detail.

35. • Converting raster to vector
• Converting text/fonts to points
• Work with different softwares
(photoshop/flash/indesign/etc…)
• Suggested software for creating
infographics

37. conclusion
Creativity is allowing yourself to make
mistakes…
Art is knowing which ones to keep.
