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
in-‐
fographics.
In
addition
to
being
an
operative
discipline,
Design
presents
it-‐
self
as
a
theoretical
response,
through
the
analysis
of
conditionings
in
soci-‐
ety
and
the
anticipation
of
new
communication
processes.
By
presenting
and
promoting
the
practical
and
theoretical
investigation
in
areas
such
as
design
and
visual
literacy,
with
specificity
on
infographics
–
a
multidisciplinary
area
in
constant
evolution
–,
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.
Nowadays,
the
Internet
offers
various
resources
for
online
archives
and
databases.
In
the
interest
of
preserving
content
and
data,
various
archives
are,
currently,
committed
to
digitizing
their
information.
Various
govern-‐
ments,
in
a
methodical
manner,
have
made
budget
and
government deci-‐
sions
available
online.
Other
examples,
like
Google,
are
also
a
vital
source
of
information.
However,
correlations
are
dispersed
and
its
logic
is
pre-‐
sented
based
on
textual
parities
or
presented
in
datasets
that
only
make
sense
to
a
scarce
number
of
people.
Archives,
as
a
specific
field
in
information,
should
propose
systemic
con-‐
structions
between
content
and
meaning.
This
is
the
underlying
premise,
when
we
question
in
what
measure
can
archives,
by
becoming
visual,
solve
flaws
in
communication.
At
the same
time,
the
subjacent objective
of
most
information
visualization
is
to
organize
and
clarify
mass
volumes
of
data.
Based
on
this
definition,
it
is
a
field
that
has
impinged
it
self
in
the
concept
of
archive.
We
will
begin explaining
the
connections
that
make
information
visualization
fertile
ground
for
this
concept,
by
decoding
the
definition
and
objectives of
archives.
After,
through
authors
and
case
studies,
we
will
ana-‐
lyze
how
they
can
influence
new
platforms
of
communications
and
rein-‐
force
new
options
for
online
press
infographics.
