Information graphics or “infographics” are graphic visual representations of information, data, or knowledge. Infographics allow us to comprehend complex information related to a specific topic. Personally I love infographics, because I learn so many “behind the scene industry tricks” that the average consumer does not know about. Infographics are extremely powerful, allowing us to process informational in industries like; graphic, computer scientists, mathematicians, social media, business, agriculture, branding, politics, and much much more.
What most people don’t know, is that infographics can easily become viral. In a way an infographic is basically an article illustrating a valuable concept. Don’t get it twisted, an attractive design plays a huge role as well. Nobody wants to comprehend an ugly infographic. Below we listed an enormous amount of resource all related to data visualization.
