The widely used method or a term nowadays. Many of you may know what it is but let me explain the same for the rest.\u00a0 Infographic is the word combination of <em>\u201cInformation\u201d<\/em> &amp; <em>\u201cGraphic\u201d<\/em>. Now it\u2019s pretty to understand that Infographic is graphic containing information. \u00a0This was only the definition or description of a word. According to Oxford Dictionary, an Infographic is a visualized image such as diagram or chat, used to represent information or data (even complex data).<\/p>\n<h4>Let\u2019s have a look at History of Infographics:<\/h4>\n<p>Infographics received a lack of popularity in earlier days but it actually exists since\u00a017<sup>th<\/sup> Century. A book titled \u201cRosa Ursina Sive Sol\u201d by Christoph Scheiner in 1626 contained several infographics which explain patterns of Sun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some more examples:<\/strong> In 1857 Florence Nightingale created infographics explaining conditions of Military Hospitals. And then in 20<sup>th<\/sup> Century printed infographics got its popularity in news papers .<\/p>\n<p>Now at the beginning of 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century, Infographics turned into digital format earning more popularity in every field.<\/p>\n<h3>Infographic \u2013 The Good<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>One of the fascinating aspects of the\u00a0infographic is its visual appeal and simplicity of presentation. We always love to have a presentation that is clear and easy to understand. Sometimes reading a page or two seems unexciting, an infographic of half a page describing all of the same in a creative and well-mannered way makes our tasks easy and interesting.<\/li>\n<li>Considering the online marketing, Infographic can help aid in SEO by earning links.<\/li>\n<li>For a business, Infographic can play a big role being a visual representation. Including brand\u00a0logo, would go a long way in marketing and achieving a\u00a0better\u00a0position in the\u00a0market.<\/li>\n<li>In this world of infographics, now you can use infographic CV to earn your job if you are pretty much creative.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Infographic \u2013 The Bad<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Infographics that are solely used for link baiting have often resulted in poorly executed efforts.<\/li>\n<li>3D images charts may look good but can distort the data needs to be presented. In short, need to be more careful while being creative with the data.<\/li>\n<li>If filled with too much data, it\u2019s difficult to focus the attention and can turn off users looking for comparative data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>The New Perspective:<\/h4>\n<p>Simplicity should always hold the perspective of creating impressive infographics. Infographics that are presented currently main comprises of static data representation provided in an interesting way. However there is a need of improving the presentation methods to take infographic to its next level. One way we can suggest is to use parallax scrolling<em> (A technique in graphics where the background image scrolls).<\/em> I know many of you will say isn\u2019t it tedious. But the results may have a very positive side for you. The question for the parallax scrolling infographic still remains unanswered, but in this world of high skilled people possibilities are still good. Let&#8217;s think it over. You might be having the answer for it.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you have some more ideas or some new perspectives feel free to share with us.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is an \u201cInfographic\u201d? \u00a0Ah!
