Everyone, at some point in their lives would have had to, at the very least, create a quick map or a simple data pie chart of some sort. Welcome to the fascinating world of infographics!
Visuals that are used to represent, instruct, or to disseminate information, data, and knowledge are called information graphics, or simply, infographics. Infographics have been around since the early ages, seen in the form of cave drawings and maps. Used everywhere, perhaps it is just that we don’t realise how often and common infographics are.
In this modern information age, there are various types of infographics. However, all of them have the same purpose; they help to quickly and clearly provide us with information that might be complex or hard to understand. Many of these infographics use cutting edge graphics, charts, and illustrations to represent compelling statistics and relationships.
Ultimately, infographics is the seamless combination of words and visuals to better explain a subject matter, or relations between subjects. Here is a collection of infographics that are visually attractive; with topics ranging from human’s most guilty desires, world maps and even the cause of natural disasters.

A Universal Language
The added beauty of infographics is that it is a universal language. They have no social or language boundaries because they let the visuals do most of the talking. Infographics also help to translate and summarize complex information into attractive visuals. A picture paints a thousand words; and graphics definitely attract more attention that a whole paragraph of text does.
