-Relationship between text and image: condensing information in an infographic. Every piece of the infographic should correlate (i.e. words, color, image, whitespace), and should work together to create meaning.

• Avoid redundancy
• Be multimodal
• Be economical (use precise words and the least amount of words that is necessary)
• Condensed text
• Key phrases. Sentences aren’t always necessary

Questions to ask yourself:

• how are you making this image work for you? Does the phrasing make sense?

Want to communicate that parts are of equal weight, visual parallelism?

Size of title, condense title, upstyle vs. downstyle? Depends on context

Segmentation of relevant parts

Or a 1 + 46 = something, like the priceless commercials?

Arrange things in an unbiased manner
