Whether you work in marketing, research, education, or the non-profit sector, infographics are likely a part of your everyday life. Even if your sector hasn’t jumped on the infographic bandwagon, it is likely that you see infographics as you scroll through social media and blogs.

Despite how widespread infographics are, there is still confusion about what exactly qualifies as an infographic.

Definition of Infographic

According to Merriam Webster dictionary, an infographic is defined as:

A chart, diagram, or illustration (as in a book or magazine, or on a website) that uses graphic elements to present information in a visually striking way.

If we go by this definition of an infographic though, then virtually all types of visual information would be considered an infographic.

Even signs like the one below would be considered an infographic.

 

While useful, we generally now appreciate infographics to be more detailed and complex than a simple sign.

Wikipedia expands on the definition of infographic by saying that,

Infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present complex information quickly and clearly.

The key term here is complex information. Hence why street signs aren’t considered infographics by modern standards.

I also like how Venture Beat defines infographic as a “Picture painted with data. Take a quick look and a story emerges from numbers. Look more closely, and a complex narrative emerges from dense clusters of information.”

Key Features of Infographics:

• Goal is to make large amounts of data immediately understandable.
• Information can be quickly digested.
• Visually striking.
• Engaging.

All Infographics Contain:

• Content Almost all infographics use some text to get the message across. However, there are some infographics – such as the IKEA stick figures – which convey the message without any text.
• Visuals: The visuals need to be striking and clearly convey the information.
• Knowledge: The goal of an infographic is to convey information. Without knowledge, then it is just a graphic and not infographic.

Types of Infographics

There are a lot of design and marketing agencies that have broken down infographics into types.  However, it is hard to find a consensus amongst them.

As one designer points out, the breakdown of infographic types depends on how you define the different between data, information, and knowledge.  These terms are highly subjective, which explains why we still don’t have a widely-agreed upon definition of infographic, nevertheless the types.

The Harvard Business Review guide Good Charts lays out four types of infographics: declarative, conceptual, exploratory, and data-driven. In this classification system, the types overlap each other, such as declarative-exploratory.

However, I prefer the simpler breakdown of infographic types by Column Five Media.  They define three main infographic types: Data visualization, information design, and editorial infographics.

As a consumer, understanding the types of infographics can help you better gauge the value of the information presented.

You’ll be able to ask yourself questions like how many data sets are being presented, and is the infographic trying to elicit a response from me?  Considering that infographics have long been used as a propaganda tool, this insight can help you avoid being manipulated with data.

Data Visualization Infographics

Many of the early precursors to infographics, such as line graphs and charts, are types of data visualizations.  The difference is that today’s data visualizations often present huge amounts of information.

Key Features:

• Illustrates numbers/amounts
• Delivers information
• Is objective
• Usually created for a specific niche
• Not narrative – focus on the numbers
• Tend to be more “numbers heavy” than graphic

There is a lot of debate about the difference between an infographic and data visualization.  Some would argue that they are completely different things.  However, the common consensus is that data visualizations are a type of infographic, but not all infographics are data visualizations.

Example of Data Visualization Infographic

 

Information Design Infographics

With these information design infographics, the data is not specific numbers.  Rather, the data is concepts which are visualized. Some examples of these information design are timelines, how-to steps, flowcharts, comparisons, hierarchical, and anatomical illustrations.

Key Features:

• Illustrates concepts rather than numbers
• Include more than one set of data or info in order to tell a larger story
• Typically aimed at a mass market
• May not be objective

Example of Information Design Infographic  

 

Editorial Infographics

It used to be that text-based editorials were found in newspapers and magazines to supplement the objective news reporting.  Now, there is a growing trend towards editorial type infographics.

Key Features:

• Are not objective
• Have a distinct call to action
• Often used by non-profits and activist groups
• Use various data sets to support viewpoint

Example of an Editorial Infographic:

 

Why Infographics Are So Powerful

Long before humans invented alphabet systems, they communicated with visuals.  The human brain is hardwired to process visual information, and it does it much more efficiently than it processes text information.

Shortening Attention Span

Another reason that infographics are so powerful in today’s era of the internet, is that they capture attention.  Our attention spans have drastically shortened because of the constant stimulus we receive.  In this era of goldfish brains, learning needs to be micro.

Infographics are one of the best ways to present huge amounts of data in small bites, thus making them a very powerful learning tool.  They are also great for marketers who want to get their message across as quickly as possible.   Color visuals increase comprehension, learning, and retention by over 73%.  The appeal lasts: Eye tracking research on news pages has shown that 87% of people who saw an infographic also read the accompanying text, whereas only 41% read the text of a typical page with heading and text.

Shareability

The key to having content go viral is to make it shareable.  Your readers see the content and believe that sharing it makes them look good.  They then want to share it with their friends, coworkers, and grandparents.  Visual content is 40X more likely to get shared on social media than other types of content (Buffer, 2014).

 

Infographic History Timeline

Prehistory and Early Civilization

We humans are visual thinkers, so it is no surprise that infographics have been around since even before civilization.  The earliest examples of infographics are arguably cave paintings which many experts believe were used to communicate information about animals and hunting methods.  There are also prehistoric examples of constellations maps and land maps.  However, the combining of data and art didn’t develop until the 1600s.

 

1600s:

Maps had been around for long before the 17^th century, but this is when the principles of measuring and marking distances as well as special geometry were laid down.  As a result, we see a huge jump in the quality of maps during this century.

Christoph Scheiner is usually credited as the person responsible for making the first modern infographic.  His map of sunspots was printed in 1626.

 

1786

The end of the 18^th century in Europe was a Golden Age for sciences and arts. The date 1786 stands out as when a Scotsman named William Playfair published his work “Commercial and Political Atlas.” The work contains the first examples of a bar chart. Playfair also is credited with inventing the line, area, and pie charts.

 

1800s

The 1800s was the era of charts. Many government offices started using visual charts for statistical analysis.  The popularity of charts led to major innovations in their types and styles.

Suddenly, we had more attractive charts as well as new types like bubble charts, contour plots, and 3d charts.

Infographic charts also started to influence history. 

If it weren’t for John Snow’s 1841 cholera map (which showed cholera outbreaks linked to a common water source), he probably wouldn’t have been able to convince public officials that cholera is spread by water.  Thanks to his visualization, the well pump was removed.

In 1860, a map of slavery influenced the course of the Civil War.  By seeing which areas held slaves, the Union was able to determine which areas would fight harder to keep slavery – and which ones might switch sides.

One of the first infographics to combine multiple data sets was made in 169 by designer Charles Minard. He visualized Emperor Napoleon’s 1812 invasion of Russia, showing the number of forces, distance traveled, temperatures, and rivers crossed.

 

Florence Nightingale was amongst the first to use infographics for activism.  Her 1858 infographic of mortality of British army was used to convince the Queen to provide better medical care for soldiers in the Crimean War.

 

 

1900s

Up until this period, infographics were mainly used to convey data within scientific circles and niche audiences. The booming 1900s found infographics being adopted by mainstream media.

People were moving to cities during this time and public transportation was getting complex.  Infographics were made to help the public navigate.  The first few attempts at mapping the subway systems in NYC were far from ideal.  It wasn’t until 1967 that subway routes were given their own color on maps.

 

1990s to Early 2000s

Computers and software finally became affordable and small enough to make it into homes. Design software suddenly made it possible to visualize data quickly without having to hand-draw visualizations.

The result were infographics which were much more complex, such as network graphs, dendrograms, sunburst charts, and chord diagrams.

2000s

Now is the era we are familiar with.  With the huge demand for visual content, everyone from marketers to government agencies to nonprofits have adopted infographics.

The push towards visual content also means there’s been a surge in bad infographics.  It got so bad that a 2011 article in the Atlantic called the infographic trend a “plague” and “endemic in the blogosphere.”

By the end of the decade, marketers realize that they can’t make an impact simply by putting content in visual form.  Consumers are demanding more to capture their attention.

 

The Infographic Today

Living in the information age means we are getting inundated with huge amounts of data daily. A Telegraph report found we consume the equivalent of 174 newspapers per day – which is five times more information consumed daily in 1986.

That statistic was reported in 2011. Since then, the amount of information overload has only increased.

With so much information overload, people have become very picky about what they consume. Content doesn’t even stand a chance without a visual strategy.  

Thus, there is a huge push to transform content into visual form.  In an article about how infographics jumped the shark, Flowing Data creator Nathan Yau comments on how infographics are replacing the blog post format.

 Infographics have gotten longer to fit into the blog format. Posts that used to be long lists of favorite things and best methods have shifted to something more visual.

We’ve also seen more infographic trends like interactive, 3d, and motion infographics.

Infographics have grown to great lengths, quite literally.  Keep scrolling..

Online users have also gotten immune to the visual pull of infographics.  Without a good story throughout the infographic, people get bored.  

Thus, it is no surprise that infographic design best practices include making a narrative flow.  When done well, the narrative will engage consumers as they scroll down the infographic.  The message is clear and there is a strong visual focus.

The final piece to pull it all together is a Call To Action or conclusion.  Because, without a CTA guiding you in how to react, what was the point of consuming the infographic?  Data only becomes knowledge when it can be put to use!

The construction industry ranks second in the United States for fatal injuries to workers under the age of 18, according to the US National Library of Medicine. Since one in ten workers is injured each year, these figures are not a surprise. Working in construction can be dangerous even if safety precautions are taken. Construction is a necessary part of life, especially as it relates to the growth of sustainable cities and communities. It is important to know the risks and the laws of the industry, and know the best practices to follow to avoid injuries.Read More

There are many reasons to use home gym equipment. In this case, we have listed the main benefits of adjustable dumbbells and why you could use them at home during any weight lifting session.

#1: An adjustable dumbbell set can save you money on gym equipment

This is one of the main benefits of adjustable dumbbells.

Although adjustable dumbbells cost more than your average set of fixed dumbbells, they take the place of not one set of dumbbells, but several sets. For example, Nüobell has ranked as one of the best adjustable dumbbells by hundreds of fitness enthusiasts thanks to its innovative system to get the desired weight range in a matter of seconds with a simple twist.

This innovative fitness equipment can be adjusted up to 80 pounds in 5 lbs ranges. That’s the equivalent of 16 sets of traditional dumbbells, each of which would normally cost $60-$100, which compared to adjustable dumbbell prices that start from $595, you’ll potentially save several hundred dollars by making a one-time investment in a more versatile piece of equipment.

#2: With NÜOBEL adjustable dumbbells, you can meet the needs of multiple household members

Another reason to choose adjustable dumbbells is to meet the need of multiple household members.

It’s one thing to purchase gym equipment that meets your specific needs when you live alone. But when you live in a household with other family members, your ideal home gym has to allow everyone to do any strength training they want according to their fitness needs.

An adjustable dumbbell set allows anyone in your home to approach a localized or full-body workout safely and in a way that’s appropriate for their level.

#3: Work out multiple muscles appropriately

Some workouts train muscles you use daily, while others strengthen muscles you don’t use as often. Having the possibility to adjust your dumbbell weight plates as you like will give you the freedom to go from one exercise to the next without losing your workout motion.

This is a great experience that only some home gym equipment can actually provide. You can aim to strengthen muscles with heavier weights and stabilize muscles with lighter weights, which can improve your overall fitness more than training with heavy weights alone.

#4: Save space on workout equipment in your home

Some people are lucky enough to have dedicated home gym spaces in their homes. But for many people, fitness can be a space-saving challenge. If you’re trying to fit a workout space into an already crowded family home or small apartment, adjustable dumbbells allow you to fit a lot of equipment into a very small space, a perk that fixed dumbbells wouldn’t allow.

#5: Make Your Investment Last Longer

Over time, your muscles become stronger and workouts become easier. To get the most out of your workout, you need heavier dumbbells to challenge your stronger muscles.

If you only purchase dumbbells in the size you need right now, you’ll soon outgrow them. This leaves you either working out with dumbbells that are too light for your needs or needing to invest in a new set of dumbbells while your old dumbbells become obsolete.

Expandable dumbbells eliminate this issue. You can improve progressively your bicep curls or any other exercises and reduce waste in the process as you allow your investments to last their longest possible life by having dumbbells with the ability to expand alongside your strength and abilities.

There are simply no excuses to reach your goals, and the only shortcut you can take is having the best fitness equipment and using it properly.
