26 Interesting Infographics for Web Designers and Developers

26 Interesting Infographics for Web Designers and Developers | information analyst | Scoop.it
Information graphics or infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge. These graphics present complex information quickly and clearly, and are easy to understand.

Infographics are sources of interesting information, when you are in need of some. Reading boring, long, colorless articles isn’t so attractive and interesting than reading and viewing facts and numbers in an illustrated way. Not only an illustrated way, but a very creative, attractive and super-appealing way.

All of them have been designed not only to look good, but also to expose the maximum information and data possible. These infographics were made by some very talented designers, with creative minds and superb skills.

While there are lots of really interesting and cool infographics on various topics, in this post we have only gathered awesome infographics which are of interest to web designers and developers...

Infographics: Who Are They and Why Are They So Important? [Presentation]

Robin Good: If you consider, like I do, "infographics" as visual presentation tools, I strongly suggest you to browse through this excellent slideshow by Robin Richards, which provides an overview of why infographics are important, gives a glimpse of their history, application and creation and gives a good insight on what makes them truly effective. 

The secret key is in "using data" to tell a story, and NOT to paint a colorful poster of cute statistical charts.

Great examples and tips are all included.

 

Recommended. 9/10

The Basics: Highlighting and Details on Demand Making More Data Accessible: User-driven Content Selection Showing Data in Different Ways: Multiple Coordinated Visualizations Showing Data in Different Ways: User-driven Visual Mapping Changes Integrating Users’ Viewpoints and Opinions

Great article, I really like the idea of interactive information with details on demand. As an interaction designer I always try to balance content management and usability. Here are some interesting examples that made me consider a complete information surface vs a deep level on demand architecture.
