4 Key Elements of Great Infographic DesignAndrea Fryrear
The strict definition of an infographic is deceptively simple: “a visual image such as a chart or diagram used to represent information or data,” but when we hear the word we’re not thinking of a neat little pie chart or line graph.
Instead the term has come to represent really long, visually intriguing graphics.
The trouble is that not all infographics are long, and certainly not all of them are visually intriguing. So what takes an image from graphic to infographic, and what elements separate the boring from the brilliant?
This infographic guide will cover the answers to these burning questions.
Infographics are a hot topic at the moment. They help to translate data into insights and understanding. This slide deck describes what an infographic is and provides many great examples of info graphics.

This presentation tries to clear the concept of Data Visualization and Infographics. How to approach both the processes and whats takes to create stunning data visualization or Amazing infographics!
What is Infographics?
There are lot of phrase around the term Information graphics like
"Infographics." "Data visualization." "Information design. & “Communication Design"
We're talking about any graphic that displays and explains information, whether that be data or words. When we use the term "data visualization," we're using it as a general term used to describe data presented in a visual way.
Why Infographics?
Infographics are important because they change the way people find and
experience stories especially now, when more and more infographics are being used to augment editorial content on the web. Infographics create a new way of seeing the world of data, and they help communicate complex ideas in a clear and beautiful way.
Understanding your audience and considering them in your design is essential for building great visualizations. This deck will walk you through the critical steps for identifying and understanding your audience, and developing a complex visualization storyboard to share your message.
A quick reference on designing data visualizations that delight and leverage best practices from the design world to ensure your data is presented in meaningful, usable, fun ways.
How can you use infographics as a teaching tool? How can you go further and inspire your students to make infographics to show what they have learned? This presentation will help take you down that path to bring infographics into your elementary, middle or high school classroom.
Data Storytelling: The only way to unlock true insight from your dataBright North
Data visualisation is failing. Many businesses are relying on tools like Excel and PowerPoint to deliver an engaging data story without first establishing the plot. Bright North's latest whitepaper explains why Data Storytelling is the only way to unlock true insight from your data and lists five steps you can take to give your data story a happy ending.
Thinking about how to communicate results from global health and development programs can be a challenge. By looking beyond long form, narrative, text reports, we can make our learning more accessible to wider audiences and promote the use of data for decision making by formatting our results in interesting, inviting ways. This deck includes a ideas, resources, and inspiration for great alternative reporting formats, including videos and SlideDocs.

Beyond Data Visualization: What's next in communicating with data?Zach Gemignani
We've made great progress in learning how to visualize data, yet a gap still remains between the data experts and the data consumers who might take action on the data. This presentation, shared at the Nashville Analytics Summit, explains how we can bring people into the process of communicating data and guide them to informed actions.
We live in a data driven world. Our ability to generate and store data is increasing exponentially but, with data comes the need to analyse it and communicate it. Data stories such as infographics can bring facts to life, and is a way to simplify and help make sense and order out of a disparate collection of facts. Learn simple strategies to engage all students in authentic, integrated, inquiry learning which blends computational methods with digital graphics to visualise data in meaningful, interesting and more dynamic ways. See how you can engage your students in building effective stories from the hidden insights locked within the data they are exploring.

presentation for Digital Cities 5 Workshop at the Communities and Technologies 2007 Conference / Michigan State University. Athor: Viktor Bedö / www.bedoviktor.net
This presentation includes examples of data visualization and infographics to support the South Asia Urban Knowledge Hub's second meeting which focused on communicating our research.
Semantic 3D City Models are the basis of a new generation of virtual reality. The most relevant objects within a city including manmade and natural objects are mapped to objects within a semantic 3D city model. These objects are classified, further substructured (e.g. a building is decomposed into roof and wall parts etc.), attributed, and have spatial and semantic relations to other objects. The international standard CityGML issued by the Open Geospatial Consortium provides a common vocabulary and definitions for describing and managing urban entities which enables interoperability over the many different cities all over the world.
This presentation shows how CityGML based semantic 3D city models are used to link data from diverse application fields like energy planning, disaster management, and environmental analyses on a stable ground. Special focus is on the support of strategic energy planning, demonstrated for the research project "Energy Atlas Berlin" that was funded by the "Climate KIC" of the European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT). We show the city-wide estimation of the energy demands of buildings including heating, electricity and warm water energy in the city of Berlin using available official geobase and statistical data integrated within the Energy Atlas Berlin.
The tools have been mostly developed at the chair of Geoinformatics at Technische Universität München (TUM). They are now being further developed in follow-up projects and applied with housing companies, energy suppliers, and urban retrofitting initiatives. For further information see the references on the last two slides.

8 Non-Tech Skills IT Pros Need To Succeed
(Click image for larger view and slideshow.)
Organizations can do a lot more with their data if they understand it better than they do. While businesses continue to invest dollars in business intelligence (BI) and analytics tools, they aren't necessarily getting the information they need to improve business decision-making.
Data visualizations
help by transforming complex information into something easier to understand. However, two people can interpret the same data visualization differently. Notably, data visualizations tend to answer "what" questions, but they don't tend to explain the "why," or provide other contextual information. Data storytelling does exactly that.
"Data storytelling weaves data and visualizations into a narrative tailored to a specific audience in order to convey credibility in the analytical approach, confidence in the results, and a compelling set of insights that is actionable to the audience." said Ryan Fuller, general manager at Microsoft and former CEO and cofounder of enterprise analytics company VoloMetrix, in an interview. "The narrative is the key vehicle to convey insights, and the visualizations are important proof points to back up the narrative."
Executives, managers, and employees have always told stories as part of their everyday work experience, but they are increasingly being required to use data to support their points of view, claims, and recommendations. The danger, of course, is data can be tortured into saying almost anything.
"One of the biggest mistakes is trying to fit the data to the story, which often results in a jumbled narrative that doesn't arrive at a compelling conclusion," said Francois Ajenstat, VP of product development at BI and analytics solution provider
Tableau
, in an interview. "Always start with the data, then build your story around it, rather than vice versa."
After speaking with experts in data science and analytics, we've developed the following four tips to help guide your data storytelling.
1. General Storytelling Rules Apply
Effective data storytelling is a lot like storytelling generally. The data story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end. It should also include a thesis (or a hypothesis), supporting facts (data), a logical structure, and a compelling presentation. Yet, all too often, those responsible for analyzing data are unable to present it in a way that's meaningful to the audience.
"A common mistake is spending too much time on the technical aspect or methodology and not providing much creativity in pointing out how the data can help the business," said David Liebskind, VP of anal.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

2. What is
Information Design ?
Information design uses pictures, symbols, colors, and
words to communicate ideas, illustrate information or
express relationships visually.
3. Information Design Tells a Story
It can tell “how many?” “when?” or “where?” It
can show trends over time, compare elements or
reveal hidden patterns.
4. Information design is about making your data:
Clear
It makes complex information easier to understand.
Compelling
Visuals grab people’s attention.
Convincing
People who might not be persuaded by raw numbers or statistics
may be more likely to understand and believe what they see in a
chart or graphic.
5. How Can You Use Information Design?
•Tell Your Story
•Analyze Your Data
•Make a Plan
•Make Information Visible
•Simplify and Clarify

•What information should I collect?
•What types of information do I have?
•Do I have information worth using?
•What is my key message or desired
outcome?
•What can I leave out?
