Abstract
Infographics have always been one of the references of Público’s newspaper, with a national and international
recognition. Visualizing information, whether qualitative or quantitative, is a must-have skill in an era of
undoubted reinforcement of digital media. Our work takes more and more relevance with the growing of visual
journalism. From print to digital, a lot has changed. New tools, new ways of thinking, new approaches but the
basics remain the same... how to give the reader the best information in a clear and well designed way.
