Creating infographics and creating them well is not an easy task, it’s actually a challenge and requires a designer to get documented first, practice and only afterwards to actually design one for a client.
Infographics are a visual representation of information and is quite popular these days due to the fact that everything that is visual is almost automatically well received by the public. This has made data visualization a thing that “must be done” by every designer, and that is almost always a bad thing.
Creating good data visualization is not the same as designing a brochure, flyer or a poster. The problem is that many ignore this aspect and keep doing it by their own rules, which can only be a stupid thing to do.
The purpose of infographics is to visualize data, to communicate information clearly and efficiently. As you will see in the following examples, the designers who made these masterpieces haven’t been able to communicate information clearly and efficiently at all, instead they complicated things or they managed to add incorrect data which can only confuse the viewers.
