"Infographic: graphic visual representation of information, data or knowledge intended to present complex information quickly and clearly." (Wikipedia)

Infographics, or information graphics, such as graphs, charts, tables and maps, can be used by bloggers to enhance their blog. One website claims that if you give an oral presentation, your audience will retain about 10% of what you presented. However, if you include visuals and written words in your presentation, that figure rises dramatically to 50%.

While we think of infographics as a recent phenomenon, they have their roots in the early 19th Century (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infographic). Back in 1801, Englishman William Playfair, a political economist, published the first area chart and pie chart in his Statistical Previary. In 1857, the famous nurse, Florence Nightingale, used inforgraphics to persuade Queen Victoria to improve military hospital conditions during the Crimean War. In 1861, Charles Minard prepared a complex infographic on Napoleon's disastrous march on Moscow.

In 1933, the London Underground was the first to make use of modern maps to sketch out its complicated subway system. In 2010, an infographic illustrated how buildings have grown over the past several decades, starting with the Empire State Building and finishing with a modern marvel in Dubai (Skyscrapers Through History: The World is Getting Taller). Our brains crave infographics as explained by the following infographic http://visual.ly/13-reasons-your-brain-craves-infographics?view=true.
