The Anatomy Of An Infographic: 5 Steps To Create A Powerful Visual
Information is very powerful but for the most bit it is bland and unimaginative. Infographics channel information in a visually pleasing, instantly understandable manner, making it not only powerful, but extremely beautiful. Once used predominantly to make maps more approachable, scientific charts less daunting and as key learning tools for children, inforgraphics have now permeated all aspects of the modern world. I designed a couple of infographics back in college, the need arising especially around the time Soccer World Cup fever spiked. Infographics can appear daunting to some with the sheer amount of data they present, but designed in the right manner and step by step, they can actually be one of the most fun things you will ever create. Today I am going to walk you through the anatomy of an infographic, its different levels and sub-levels and a 5-step process to ensure that your infographic is not only conceptually sound, but accurate and easily understood.

9 Ways You Can Improve Your Infographic Pitches to Blogs & Websites
Over the past year, I’ve worked on approximately 20 different infographics for a single client. One of the most frustrating things about the process has been the unevenness of the response. Even if we do everything seemingly right, an infographic might not take off. After a string of disappointing infographics, I decided to go back over every step and figure out what we had missed. After fixing the way we work with our design firm (hint: for best results, compile your own research and craft your infographic’s storyline before handing it off), we revamped our outreach process. Infographics are a unique type of content. But the bottom line is that standards are going to be different. Is it correct? Once all this sunk in, we started debugging our outreach process. The following checklist is based on my experience and their advice, and designed to improve your outreach messages. What Works Personalize. What Doesn’t Work? Image Credit: Ivan Cash

make your own infographics
Infographics (or Information Graphics) are graphic visual representations of data or information, presented in a way to make it easier to consume information. Infographics gained popularity in the mid-2000′s with the advent of sites like Digg and Reddit, and have quickly become one of the most popular methods to display researched data. There are three main types of infographics – where data is presented in a timeline, where statistical data is presented in graphs or with icons, or where data is presented on a map. You can also get very creative with how you display your information, and do something completely unconventional. Infographics are among the most popular modern methods of sharing information with an audience. There are a few automated ways you can create your own infographics. But what if you want to create your own infographic from scratch? Where to get visual statistics When it comes to finding statistics for your infographics, Google is your friend. Where to get icons
Visualizing Time with the Infinity Hour Chart | Doug McCune
This is another experiment in visualizing 24-hour cyclical data. My last post explored a method of linear representation (the Double Time Bar Chart). Linear representations have problems when it comes to showing the cyclical nature of time data (ie there is no start or end of a 24 hour cycle). Inspiration When trying to think of visual representations of never-ending cycles I was inspired by the infinity symbol. My thought was that maybe I could combine the two to create a vertical infinity symbol that evokes the metaphor of an hour glass. Back of the napkin My original sketch of this concept was done on the back of a napkin. I experimented with a few different options for how to show the data using fills. Drawing Infinity The mathematical name for the infinity symbol is lemniscate, and more specifically the lemniscate of Bernoulli. To start I divided the lemniscate into 24 segments, one for each of the hours of the day. You follow the time by working your way around the infinity.
