Intriguing study reveals the secrets of successful infographics

Intriguing study reveals the secrets of successful infographics | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
What makes an infographic successful? As designers, we want it to achieve a balance of two main things: Did the reader get the message we wanted them to get?


...To the surprise of the researchers, bar graphs and charts did poorly. It turns out (news flash) they all kinda look the same. The most memorable images contained “human recognizable objects.” Think mundane stuff like photos or illustrations of bottles, animals and shoes, not to mention people.


Other important points:

  1. Color made a huge difference: the more, the better.
  2. Images with more clutter were highly memorable. How much more memorable? A lot.
  3. Images with lots of circles and rounded corner graphics also ranked high.

Infographics present statistical data in a more palatable manner. Basically, it delivers information as a story, in a way that’s easier to understand. That’s why data shown in these graphics are more easily retained by viewers than if they read it in a paragraph.


With that in mind, marketers can take advantage of this potential and present their products in such a way that it will remain in the minds of the consumers. One of the best ways to do that is to tell a tale....

The Very, Very Many Varieties of Beer [Infographic] | Daily Infographic | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

...As you can see from this map, beer comes in many subtle varieties including one big divide – Lagers and Ales. I believe that what separates the lagers from the ales aside from taste alone is in the temperature at which it is fermented and conditioned. With Lagers you get your Bocks and Pilsners and Light beers. Ales are brewed at room temperature and produce your IPA’s, Stouts, and Lambic beers. Although I still haven’t tried my brew yet (I just added the sugar/alcohol content about a week ago so it’s needs to carbonate), I’m ecstatic about getting that stuff in my belly. mmmm. Next up on the brew list is an Oatmeal Stout....

The Growing Importance of Infographics | Rush Tips

The Growing Importance of Infographics | Rush Tips | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

One of the most efficient ways to aggregate easily digestible pieces of information is through infographics. Infographics are typically stylish, scrollable graphics providing factual information on a defined and narrow topic. Infographics make learning and processing information much more enjoyable than simply reading out of an encyclopedia or from a boring black and white webpage. For these reasons, more people and businesses are turning to infographics as a way to send out important bits of information to targeted demographics.

 

A single infographic has the potential to reach up to 15 million people on average. The reason why infographics have such a high potential is because people have embraced linking and spreading the graphics through social media channels. Instead of sending out one fact at a time to a follower, a social media user can simply link to an infographic that has all the information he or she would like to show to followers. This makes infographics as one of the most enjoyable and time efficient ways to spread facts worth sharing....
