Infographics: The Good, the Bad, and the Fluffy – Part 2

Infographics: The Good, the Bad, and the Fluffy – Part 2 | visual data | Scoop.it

In my earlier write-up on “Infographics: The Good, the Bad & the Fluffy,” I went over 5 things that weed out a good infographic from the bad & the fluffy for a content audit.

They include:

-Compelling data that tell a story.
-An infographic that’s relevant to the brand.
-Simple, clean design.
-Rich graphics.
-Succinct and engaging copy.
After developing this list, I was naturally interested in finding out what the folks I rub elbows with on a daily basis think about these visual displays of information. Following is a roundup of infographics chosen and critiqued by a few of my SF colleagues along with my comments based on the criteria above.

Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information

Visually harnessing the power of digital information in Manuel Lima's new book...

In our multimedia-saturated times, the way we experience information constantly shifts. Using Google to instantly settle a debate or Facebook-stalking exes are just a couple common examples of the type of purely contemporary phenomena resulting from the ways digital formats have replaced traditional platforms. Another natural offshoot, the wash of infographics and meme-driven charts, also reflects growing obsessions with these vast quantities of facts and figures, and the tremendous potential for shaping how we understand our world. Manuel Lima's new book, Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information, explores the history of visually representing information and how imagery can interpret data.
