PURPOSIVE COMMUNICATION
21
ST
CENTURY
Communication has ceased to be plainly linear or strictly verbal or written with the
advancement in technology of the 21st century. Information can be relayed through
simple but appealing and eye-catching infographics and data visualizations. In visual
representations of information that consist of charts, maps, icons, progress bars, signs,
posters, diagrams and online visuals, ideas are transmitted fast and clear.
Both infographics and PowerPoint presentations are multimodal in the sense that
communication relies on the textual, aural, linguistic, spatial, and visual resources as
modes to compose and relay messages. In application, the presenter still maintains his
or her visual presence and facilitates his or her discussion with his or her entire speech
mechanism at work while aided by the images and graphics in his or her prepared
infographics and PowerPoint presentation.

INFOGRAPHICS
1. Static – the most common, simplest and easiest to format with the final design
saved on an image file for easy distribution online and to print on paper.
2. Zooming – normally used for larger designs that convey a large amount of
information: with an added interactive layer for zooming controls for the readers to
use.
3. Animated – creates some motion or change to the design as the reader watches,
e.g., bars in a bar chart growing a color change, or an animated character;
completely contained in an image file and thus, can be posted on other sites or
blogs; makes the design stand out as it is moving.
4. Video – provide ease of sharing with the ability to be shared anywhere. Unlike
static infographics, videos also have the capacity to engage the audience more
efficiently.
5. Interactive – designs give readers some control over the date or visualization
displayed for a much longer period of time than the static infographics.
