InfoPIc

Definition:

An InfoPic combines a visual image with related text. Often InfoPics feature quotations and include attribution for the original source. Apps and website tools which enable users to overlay a text box on a background image, adjusting text size and colors  for clear contrast and readability, facilitate the creation and sharing of InfoPics.

Rationale

Brain Hacking InfoPics

The slideshow “Why InfoPics” (June 2017) highlights ten reasons InfoPics are important and valuable media products to create and share.

This rationale for InfoPIcs is also available as a narrated slideshow on YouTube.
