İNFOGRAFİK TASARIMINDA KULLANILAN WEB TEKNOLOJİLERİNİN KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI

Year 2021, Volume: 11 Issue: 3, 797 - 812, 01.07.2021

Abstract

Günümüzde bilginin görselleştirilmesi sürecinde en çok tercih edilen yöntemlerin başında infografikler gelmektedir. Özellikle gelişen teknolojiler infografik tasarım süreçlerini kolaylaştırmakta ve herkese infografiklerden yararlanma yolunu açmaktadır. Gelişen teknolojilerin sunduğu olanaklar da infografiklere yeni özellikler katmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda çalışmada, infografik tasarımında kullanılan web teknolojilerin belirlenmesi ve bu teknolojilerin belirli ölçütler bağlamında karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu ölçütler arasında Türkçe dil desteği, ücretlendirme seçenekleri, kullanım amaçları, içerik zenginliği ve infografik türleri yer almaktadır. Belirlenen web teknolojileri içerik analizi yöntemiyle detaylı olarak incelenmiştir. İnceleme sonucunda infografik tasarımında kullanılan sekiz web teknolojisi belirlenmiştir. Bunlar; Canva, Venngage, Easel.ly, Piktochart, Infogram, Visme, Genially ve Visually’dir. İçerik analizi sonucunda Türkçe dil desteği ölçütünde Canva’nın ön plana çıktığı belirlenmiştir. Ücretlendirme seçeneklerine göre teknolojiler incelendiğinde ise tamamen ücretsiz kullanıma yönelik bir seçenek bulunmadığı, kısıtlı özellikler sunularak ücretsiz kullanıma izin verildiği görülmüştür. Kullanım amaçlarında ise bireysel, iş ve eğitim amaçlı kullanım yaygındır. Tüm infografik teknolojilerin zengin içerikler sunduğu belirlenmiş ve infografik türleri açısından Genially, etkileşim özellikleri sunması açısından diğerlerinden ayrılmıştır. İnfografiklerdeki yeni eğilimin etkileşimli infografikler olduğu belirlenmiştir.

COMPARISON OF WEB TECHNOLOGIES USED IN INFOGRAPHIC DESIGN

Year 2021, Volume: 11 Issue: 3, 797 - 812, 01.07.2021

Abstract

Today, creating infographics is one of the most preferred methods in the process of visualization of information. Emerging technologies facilitate infographic design processes and make them available for everyone to benefit from them. The possibilities offered by emerging technologies also add new features to the infographics. Thus, it was aimed to determine the web technologies used in infographic design and to compare these technologies according to certain criteria. These criteria include Turkish language support, pricing options, intended use, content richness and variety of infographic types. The determined web technologies were examined in detail with the method of content analysis. As a result of the examination, the web technology used in eight infographic designs was determined. These are Canva, Venngage, Easel.ly, Piktochart, Infogram, Visme, Genially and Visually. As a result of the content analysis, it has been determined that Canva comes to the fore in the Turkish language support criterion. When the technologies are examined according to the pricing options, it is seen that there is no option for completely free use, and free use is allowed by offering limited features. For usage purposes, individual, business, and educational use are common. It is noteworthy that all the infographic technologies offer rich content and Genially differs from others in terms of infographic types by providing interactive features. It is determined that the new trend in infographics is interactive infographics.
