# Infographic

## Triggers

infographic, data visualization, chart, diagram, flowchart, timeline, statistics, process diagram

## Defaults

- **Aspect ratio**: `2:3` (vertical scroll); use `16:9` for presentation slides
- **Resolution**: `2K`

## Content Integrity

- **Key information must not be lost**: Core conclusions, key figures, key steps must be preserved from the source
- **No fabrication**: Do not invent data, conclusions, or causal relationships absent from the original material
- **No relationship distortion**: Comparisons must not become processes; correlations must not become causations
- **Data accuracy is non-negotiable**: Numbers, ratios, timeframes, and rankings must be exact
- **Compress without distortion**: Abbreviation is allowed; altering the original meaning is not

## Design Thinking

1. **Identify the core message** — What is the single takeaway the viewer should remember?
2. **Choose the right structure** — Match the infographic type (timeline, flowchart, comparison, etc.) to the logical relationship in the content. Do not force data into a mismatched layout
3. **Establish information hierarchy** — Primary data/conclusion at the top or center; supporting details flow outward or downward
4. **Group related items** — Use spatial proximity, shared color, or enclosing shapes to signal that items belong together
5. **Guide the reading path** — Use arrows, numbering, or visual flow (top→bottom, left→right) so the viewer never wonders "where do I look next?"

## Aesthetics Guidelines

- **Color palette**: Pick 1 primary + 1-2 accent colors; derive lighter/darker shades from these rather than adding unrelated hues. Ensure sufficient contrast (WCAG AA minimum) between text and background
- **Typography**: Use no more than 2 font families — one for headings, one for body. Maintain consistent size hierarchy across sections
- **Icons and decoration**: Icons should serve comprehension, not decoration. Keep the total count proportional to the number of information modules. Use a single, line-weight-consistent icon set — never mix outline, filled, and hand-drawn styles
- **White space**: Every section needs breathing room. Cramped layouts destroy readability — when in doubt, cut content rather than shrink spacing
- **Alignment and grid**: All elements should snap to a visible or implied grid. Misaligned text or uneven margins signal low quality instantly
- **Visual consistency**: Repeated elements (cards, dividers, bullet styles) must look identical throughout. Inconsistency erodes trust in the data

## Prompt Rules

- Specify all text and numbers in double quotes — maximizes text rendering accuracy
- Specify exact data values — do not let the model invent numbers
