    “Infographics” have become trendy lately, but am I the only one who thinks most of them
    are a simply a collection of illustrated factoids? Taking the Glen Beck/gold coins one as
    an example (others are worse), the actual information content consists of a couple
    paragraphs; a short email. Adding pictures of gold coins and all the other clutter adds no
    information. The ice cream one is even worse. These are typical of what people are calling
    “infographic” these days.

    Am I crazy, or aren’t the graphics supposed to contribute information or encourage understanding? There are pie charts in the one on “Demand Media,” but they’ve been cutesified and rendered so tiny relative to the fluff, their information content has been diminished.

    You don’t have to read Tufte (who is overrated, imo); just ask yourself, does this need illustration to make it more information or clearer? And if the illustration doesn’t do either, then it’s fluff.

    Grumpily,

    Sam

    Well you see Sam, a lot of people aren’t particularly excited by reading text alone. We know
    that’s where the information is. But it is boring. So adding some related graphics, even if
    they don’t add and additional information, is a way to make the information look more
    interesting or fun and thus more entertaining to read.

    It’s the same reason that making a smiley face on a pancake using raisins makes it more
    fun for kids and then more likely they are to be interested in eating it.

    A piece of parsley on a dinner plate does the same thing for adults.

    It’s all about presentation. A paragraph of text looks boring. Adding a colorful graphic makes
    it look interesting and more likely to be read.

    You understand. You were just a bit grumpy at that moment.

    I agree with Sam. I love infographics, but most of these really missed the mark. Take the energy savings one for example. The graphics offer nothing to add to the information being presented. For (1. What if everybody changed a lightbulb?) the artist could have presented a graphical representation of what 60 watts (60 lightbulb graphics) would look like compared to 13 watts (13 bulbs). I skipped over most of these, but the ice cream one in particular is actually kind of unreadable. The Demand Media one looks nice but is more of a professional presentation rather than one that’s meant for the average viewer to read and understand.
