ABSTRACT

Infographics represent an important means to visualize book information in the digital age. This paper employs a case study method, focusing on typical infographic design practices in recent years' book design, and points out that infographics in book design serve three main functions: reducing readers' cognitive load, enhancing the visual appeal of information, and strengthening the effects of information memory and dissemination. It also summarizes the graphic dimension, color dimension, and text dimension in the practice of book infographic design. Book design can leverage the synergy of the three practical dimensions of infographics to achieve the concrete translation of information, construct information hierarchies and color narratives, and balance the accuracy of information with visual expressiveness.
