Infographics

Our infographics distill the essential elements of laws, regulations, directives, and other rules into diagrams, charts, and graphics that users can grasp intuitively, without lengthy explanatory text. Scalable for diverse online platforms and print publications, these visuals maintain clarity and impact at any size.

The Science Behind Legal Infographics

Pictures are remembered significantly better than words, with dual-coding theory explaining that images receive both visual and verbal encoding whereas text receives only verbal encoding.

The multimedia principle confirms people learn better from words combined with pictures than words alone, with meta-analyses showing pictorial illustrations consistently improve learning.

Visual aids could reduce cognitive load by providing concrete information to supplement abstract legalese, allowing viewers to "see" accurate portrayals of legal concepts.

Diagrams reduce search and recognition time compared to text descriptions, while external visualizations support internal cognition by making abstract legal relationships concrete and navigable.

Infographics are shared more frequently on social media, driving greater engagement with legal content. ​

Scalability Across Platforms and Media

Modern publishing requires content that maintains clarity and impact across diverse digital platforms and print formats. Infographics designed with scalability in mind preserve their communicative value whether viewed on smartphone screens, desktop monitors, or printed documents. This versatility proves essential as legal information consumption increasingly occurs across multiple devices and contexts.
