This is a nice SlideShare piece that takes a complex subject and boils it down into easy-to-understand principles that anyone can use to create better visual stories. Check it out. It's one of the better pieces I've found on the topic and includes some information I'd not seen before. Like the Taxonomy of Visual Content which covers different content in terms of cost, interactivity, and format. Very helpful! So is the slide going over the elements of successful visual content. The post also tackles how to get started. Grab this and go! This review was written by Karen Dietz for her curated content on business storytelling at www.scoop.it/t/just-story-it

Infographics can be powerful communications tools for fundraisers. Done well, they can express complex issues in a compelling way and demonstrate impact. A form of curation, they can also demonstrate a charity's expertise on its subject. They are one way that charities and nonprofits can harness 'big data' - theirs, and that of others. They also tend to be shared widely via digital media. Which fundraising infographics have we missed? Find us at www.fundraising.co.uk.
