Honeybees are the perfect topic for a striking infographic. These little pollinators are integral to the health of our ecosystems today. In this infographic, you can see a concise presentation of facts on the bottom, with large blocks of text near the bee species. A limited color palette prevents distractions. I feel there is too much text near the species, leading to distractions. The use of symbols helps to drive the infographic’s points home – the colored apples resemble the “1 out of every 3” point underneath it. This graphic is compact, sure, but this compaction takes away some breathing room for the viewer. Adding space could also be used to create more eye-catching visualizations. I’d still consider this a good infographic, but the bottom section focusing on data could maybe use a chart to represent the changes over time.
