Pensar Infografico : a proposal of introductory teaching of infographics from the perspective of graphic language/Pensar Infografico: uma proposta de ensino introdutorio de infografia sob a perspectiva da linguagem grafica

This paper shows the experience between the years of 2014 and 2016 with the infographics teaching project entitled "Pensar Infografico" (Thinking Infographics). For this, is presented a brief review of the literature, and then is proposed a structural model of an infographics introductory course. This course has a theoretical background in information design and, more specifically, the graphic language. The presented approach seeks to highlight the contributions of information design on teaching infographics. In this way, it is hoped to promote discussions and reflections on theory, production, and uses of infographics.
