La hiperinfografía, diálogo en el ámbito del diseño

Abstract

Design is a discipline that relies on images and texts with composition, color and formal elements, which make up the design itself; from editorials to the use of technological means, from two-dimensional to three-dimensional design objects (the design product aimed at audiences with different ages, genders, social classes and educational scope). Through this area, society is shown the cultural elements that have remained in history, objects, ideas, and even people are taught, disseminated or promoted. Any individual, throughout their existence, has designed at some point in their life; tried to have something visualized in a pleasant, contrasting, brilliant way or any other quality that belongs to this discipline. There are different design products aimed at the user: brochures, posters or infographics; made up of image and text. In this communication there will be a dialogue about the meaning of infographics and that of large formats, called “hyperinfographics”. The latter is a design product that exceeds size standards, and in journalistic infographics, is preceded as mega infographics. That is, infographic printed formats in sheets size newspapers, approximately 16 sheets. In the case of hyperinfography, it was named as such because it is larger than a mega and exceeds the aforementioned dimensions.
