The Key
Use analogies
Write less text
Make literal icons
Make data meaningful
What’s an Infographic?
Data
Design
Journalism
How to find the data?
Ask precise questions.
How to ask precise questions?
Predict the answer.
No, really, how to find data?
(Ask for it.)
(Then ask again.)
source:
Funders and Founders
(Leverage what you got.)
What if the data is a secret?
(Find a paradigm case.)
(And put your a** on the line.)
source: Funders and Founders
Why is the data not in one place?
source: Funders and Founders
Good data is about grouping.
source:
Funders and Founders
Good data
is about
overlapping.
How to sort messy data?
(Ask the data guy.)
Being a
Journalist
what do people
care about?
not numbers
not design
meaning
where is
the
meaning?
meaningful graphics
detail is
meaningful
source:
Jack Hagley
simple is
meaningful
source:
Funders and Founders
selection
is
meaningful
source: anna.vc
what
helps
people get
through
the day
location is
meaningful
-don’t
ignore it
source: space.com
sections are
not an
infographic
layout
Being a
Designer
Where to start?
with the
analogy
with the
layout
with
graphs
with
icons
The
Infographic

Process
Example 2: illustrating
behance.net
Example 1: sketching
behance.net
Example 3: details
