Defined as “graphic visual representation of data, knowledge or information,” Infographics are being used in a variety of ways to tell a story.
Like everything on the web, the ‘good, bad and ugly’ of Infographics are all too apparent. Whether you use software such as Adobe Illustrator or use free infographic creator tools, knowing the do’s and don’ts of Infographic design is key to enhancing your credibility and trustworthiness in this age of information overload and cynicism.

Part of my presentation on media relations at #PRSAICON focuses on the news release paradox. It's seemingly got its own gravitational pull as one of the most mentioned tools in our industry. Yet it's little more than a simple format that hasn't changed much -- in more than a century.
Thousands of releases are distributed daily and we can't even agree upon what to call the format. And while releases haven't changed much, the use case for the news release has expanded beyond the media. It's just one of several changes I'll review before detailing how to turn this change into an opportunity.
Much Ado About Nothing?

As 2013 begins, social media marketing has already grown a bit old school. Today, the marketing world is still hot on the social media marketing trail, but the trail has diverged. There are different paths with cheerleaders along the way no matter which path a marketer follows.
Ideally, marketers should find the path down the middle that marries all of the elements of social media marketing, but most are not there yet. Many of today’s marketers are still choosing a single path to focus on or jumping back and forth. For example, those paths include the data and metrics focus, the storytelling focus, the visual focus, and more. This article hones in on the visual focus with the help of two great infographics that visually share the data and tell the story of visual storytelling. Appropriate, don’t you think?...

Information can be useful--and even beautiful--but only when it’s presented well. In an age of information overload, any guidance through the clutter comes as a welcome relief. That’s one reason for the recent popularity of information graphics.
Infographics are visual designs that help to explain complicated data in a simple way (mental-health emergencies at Burning Man, anyone?). But how are they created? What can we learn from the designer’s process? And what does an infographic designer know about storks delivering babies?...
