Abstract(s)

The present article is part of a broader study that frames the concept and creation of visual archives for online press, in relation to infographics. In addition to being an operative discipline, Design presents itself as a theoretical response, through the analysis of conditioning in society and the anticipation of new communication processes. By presenting and promoting a practical and theoretical investigation on infographics, we intend to reveal how we can communicate complex information content visually. Focusing on online press infographics, we propose to establish a new role by relating it to visual archives. We will present selected case studies to focus on the possibilities of retrieval and presentation of past and present data, thus connecting a definition of visual archives with new paths for online dynamic infography. Interface presents itself as an invisible aspect that interfuses the final outcome, and reveals infographics as a response that bonds technology and visual practice.
