I love infographics and the way they marry graphical illustration with raw data. For me it’s the best of both worlds as I often brain-storm and articulate my ideas in sketch and word format.
Sometimes an idea is best communicated with the use of both, as these infographics below demonstrate – they can really make the reader experience more engaging and enjoyable. There is also importantly less room for ambiguity or ill-communication as the visual should support the message and vice-versa.
The following are to be found in the GOOD website where they have a whole section dedicated to the medium of infographics that are often based on American public opinion about a topical issue that has social or political ramifications. Some of it makes for enlightening and surprising reading, but I find displayed through an infographic never boring.
Fair Trade: Understanding What's Behind the Label
Infographic: How Do Americans Feel About the Bin Laden Mission?
Infographic: School Cafeteria Food vs. Prison Food
