Infographics have become a popular means of displaying information. It is a well known fact that the attention of viewers is attracted and held better through images than text, and people are more likely to digest the information in images.
Road signs were probably among the first infographics; they needed to impart necessary information at a glance, and they have achieved that by using graphics and very large text, and that is the basis of modern infographics, which are becoming available for all trades, services, products and niches.
