Infographics are a great tool for learning, retaining information, and organizing data sets to efficiently display information. There are infographics that can be considered “good” and some that can be considered “bad”. In this blog post I will share what makes a good infographic.
A good infographic often presents complex data into a more clear, simple, and concise way. A good infographic should use its visuals to help the audience interpret the main ideas through storytelling. Most importantly, a good infographic should be useful to the viewers.
In this infographic on which college majors study the most, takes data that would most likely be very complex on a data sheet, and turns the data into a concise yet comprehensive story that displays the information readily available to the audience. This infographic is clear, easy to interpret, and tells the story on study times. Above all, it is useful information to the intended audiences.
This is another example a good infographic, that displays information clearly, effectively, and is useful to the intended audiences. It tells the story of students and what their weeks consist of. It utilizes good visuals that help the reader interpret the data effectively, making it a memorable visual.
These graphs are great examples of insightful infographics. They’re useful, clear, effective, and display comprehensive data sets that are now easily interpreted by the audience. This is what every good infographic should look like.
