If you read things on the Internet, like The Next Web, you’ve probably seen an infographic. The art of the infographic depends on how what data is being presented, how cleanly, and how attractively. A well-done infographic is more interesting than a text-only post of data.
The only problem with this type of content is that it’s extremely difficult to do if you don’t have a staff of designers and statisticians. Managing the data, creating a layout, testing the design, and getting sign-off on an infographic before it goes live is a long and frustrating process.
One company, Infogr.am, wants to make the infographic creation process an easy one that anyone can do. I think they’ve done their job, as their application is absolutely awesome.
