Abstract

Infographics are data visualisation tools to disseminate complex statistical information in a cohesive, and meaningful way (Krum 2013). The popularity of infographics increased with vastly available data and technological developments in software application tools such as Canva (Canva 2023) and Infogram (Infogram 2023) to create visually appealing infographics. Governments and organisations used infographics during the pandemic to communicate health-related messages to the public (Kleijsen 2021). Hence, it is vital that infographics communicate information ethically and are understood as they are intended.
