A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words


Infographics are used to quickly communicate a message, to simplify the presentation of large amounts of data... Infographics help see patterns and relationships between data.

A Large Variety of Infographics


Infographics include reports, posters, presentations, graphs, charts, maps...

There are so many types of infographics that just within the "charts" type you'll find sub categories such as : "vertical bars", "triangle bars", "horizontal bars", "lines", "areas", "dots", "pies", "stacked venn", "icon matrix", "gradient hierarchy", "gauge", "doughnut", "swatch" and "progress bar"... Here's a example below (vertical bars chart)
