All You Need to Know About Infographics: Tips, Tutorials, Guides | The *Official AndreasCY* Daily Magazine | Scoop.it

Let’s be honest, we don’t like to read big pieces of text. Text-heavy graphs are rather difficult for understanding, especially when dealing with numbers and statistics. That is why illustrations and flowcharts are often used for such kind of information.

A History of Conflicts

A History of Conflicts | The *Official AndreasCY* Daily Magazine | Scoop.it

What an interesting selection of tools for data presentation, if only more of them were free.
