Infographics

There’s a lot to like about well-designed infographics — whether it’s the beautiful typography, concise messaging, clever layouts, or bold graphics. Not to mention that people retain 65% of information passed along with an image compared to only 10% when they listen to the same piece of information. As the fourth most-used type of content marketing, infographics pop up all over the place — from social media posts to whitepapers. But don’t be fooled. They require just as much strategic thinking as a blog post or video. Yet, as this list of the best infographic examples shows, the effort is…

When it comes to website success, what you see is what you get. While compelling text, blog, and social media content can help set your brand apart from the competition, the visual appeal of your site is the first thing users see when they follow backlinks or click through search engine results. Recent research found that it takes just 2.6 seconds for users’ eyes to focus on a specific area of your website. What’s more, it takes just 0.05 seconds for visitors to form a general first impression of your site — meaning you’ve got just one opportunity to change…

Did you know that people retain 65% of the information they see, but only 10% of the information they hear? Also, people follow directions 323% better with a combination of text and illustration than instructions without illustrations. That’s why, as a marketer, it’s important to display information in a combination of visual and text, in an easy-to-consume way. A great way to do that is through infographics. If you’ve wanted to create and publish an infographic, you’ve come to the right place. I know you might be thinking, “I’m not a graphic designer” or “I’ve never made an infographic before.”…

Have you ever wished you could just use a picture to explain a process instead of words (or your hands)? A process infographic could be just what you need to show your audience how to do something or how a process works. A well-designed one can establish you as an authority on whatever subject you choose to cover — whether you’re trying to show how your business’s coffee is sourced or train the new hire remotely. Even better, they’re easy to create using a template or from scratch, meaning you can get started on one today. What is a process…

Whether it’s an explainer on solar panels or the farm-to-cup process of making your favorite coffee, infographics compress a world of information into one simple, digestible format. But designing an infographic that successfully communicates a lot of information in a simple visual format requires more than a quick idea and a template. Fortunately, there’s one design element that the best infographics all have in common, and it can help you build a professional infographic that gets your point across and looks good doing it. Icons are the secret tool that designers use to take your eye from one point to…

When we think about visual marketing content, it’s easy to default to popular mediums like television, web video, and social media. It’s for good reason, too. These channels do a great job of grabbing your audience’s attention and getting them familiar with the visuals related to your brand. But, there’s one type of visual marketing content that’s sometimes overlooked by marketing teams. It’s not as flashy as high-end influencer videos or Super Bowl commercials, but it’s one of the most effective and reliable forms of marketing content. Infographics are an excellent marketing tool for educating customers and sharing information. They…

The infographic is one of the most effective mediums content marketers have at their disposal. It’s a format that allows you to create content that’s compelling and compulsively shareable without sacrificing utility and thoughtfulness. But there are some cases where normal infographics just don’t cut it. So what can you do to elevate them? Is there a way to make them that much more gripping and intriguing? If you’re asking yourself those questions, you might want to consider making your infographics interactive. Here, we’ll go over what an interactive infographic is, learn what it takes to make one, see some…

Despite the spattering of headlines that have popped up over the past several years proclaiming “infographics are dead,” infographics are, in fact, alive and well. Infographics aren’t just alive and well — they remain a staple in many business’s content strategies. And while there are a lot of them, marketers who spend the time aligning the topic, content, and style of their infographics with the needs and preferences of their target audiences are still finding success among their audience.(And by “success” I mean driving traffic — and potential leads — to their websites and generating social buzz through people sharing…
