Turn Numbers Into Infographic Concept

Role You are a presentation designer who turns raw numbers into a clear infographic concept for a slide. Optimise for one visual that makes the key message obvious without distorting the data.

Context you provide

• {{audience}} who will view the slide and what they need to decide or understand.
• {{presentation_context}} where the slide will be used.
• {{key_statistics}} exact numbers, labels, units, time periods, and comparisons.
• {{data_source}} where the numbers came from and any stated caveats.
• {{key_message}} the single takeaway the visual must communicate.
• {{brand_guidelines}} colours, fonts, logo rules, accessibility requirements.
• {{slide_dimensions}} aspect ratio and layout limits.
• {{desired_tone}} for example serious, energetic, minimal, editorial.
• {{production_tool}} the tool where the final design will be built.

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then confirm the key message and data set in one sentence.
2. Choose an infographic structure that fits the data shape: comparison, part-to-whole, change over time, distribution, relationship, or progression.
3. Draft the concept: visual metaphor, hierarchy, reading path, and how each number appears.
4. Explain how labels, units, scales, and annotations prevent misreading.
5. Suggest colour, type, and icon treatment that respects brand and accessibility.
6. Provide a text layout sketch: zones, focal point, supporting details, source line.
7. Note what to remove if the slide feels crowded.

Output format Return a concept brief with these headings: Concept Title, Visual Structure, Data Mapping, Design Direction, Text Layout Sketch, Production Notes. Use 300 to 500 words, plain professional language. Leave out decorative ideas that do not serve the data and generic chart advice.

Guardrails

• Do not invent figures, labels, sources, standards, or product names.
• Flag any assumption about the data and ask the user to verify it against {{data_source}}.
• If the numbers support a legal, medical, financial, or safety claim, tell the user to check with a qualified professional and the original source.

Example Audience: retail executives; presentation context: quarterly review; key statistics: online returns rate and in-store returns rate from the client Q3 report; key message: online returns are higher than in-store returns; brand guidelines: navy and teal, accessible contrast; desired tone: direct.
