What Ado About Info

Fun Statistics


Infographics simply put are visual representations of information.  They are usually presented in a way that is aesthetically pleasing and easy for the viewer to understand.  

I have found a few online that I found interesting that I am going to share:

I have two main web browsers that I use, so seeing how they ranked compared to the most popular available browsers sparked my interest.  This infographic is not bad; it gets the data across in a easy visual.  Although it is not very creative.  The text is standard and it provides the logos of the browsers.  Have more colors could have made it better.

This infograph displays the history of Apple.  There are more images of the corporation and it's products than there are words, but it is still able to get the information across.  This infographic is good because the images are engaging, and it is simple to understand.  A negative about this is that the images seem cluttered and can be a little distracting.

On Monday in class I will be doing a practice infographic that will be comparing different cell phone companies.  I plan on using graphics of people and cell phones to illustrate the information that I am going to be using.
