Description:
An information graphic or illustration chart is "a chart consisting solely or mainly of a sketch, picture, photograph, drawing, etc. When text is included, its primary function is generally to explain or give additional insight into the subject illustrated on the chart, usually in the form of notes, labels or a legend." (Harris, 1999, p.196)
Observe Gestalt principles, particularly proximity, when placing text within the graphic.
Other communication formats:
Icons fall into this category, as do organization charts and process flows.
