This infographic is about the syrian conflict, specially it treats data after 24 months of it begining. 

It is more figurative than abstract because the relation between the reference and the draw are quite close. It is quite functional because each element has an informative purpose and only few things are there to decorate, almost all that is on the infographic contains relevant data to the comprehension of the information presented.It is too quite lightness because information is shown in a clear vissually way. The combination of colours, shapes and lines is selected with a good criteria that makes the infographic easy to understand. It is more multidimensional than unidimensional because of data is shown from different perspectives or treating diverse items of the same big theme: the syria conflict. The infogrpahic is familiar, the way in which information is presented is not novel to the viewers who are used to this type of representations. It is no needed an extra explanation to all that is exposed in this infographic, all is very cleary disposed to the comprehension from a wide audience. It is too novelty because each part of it talks about a new item, exposes new and relevant information to the viewer and it does not give place to the repetition of data.

This infographic is more intelligible and shallower than complex and deeper.It could be published in any medium and be understood by lots of people without an extra explanation.
