Class exercise

I think this is long overdue but here are my definitions of data visualization and infographics:

Data visualization: huge data, multiple data, complex graphs, open for interpretation, simple, allowance for multiple understanding, freedom of users to interpret, derived information.

Infographics: appealing, interpreted data, numbers, simple, comprehensible graphs, single interpretation but allows users to use the interpreted data in their own ways, fed information.

There is a thin line of difference between data viz and infographics, but a good informative design should incorporate both to make data more comprehensible and yet interesting.
