Have you ever asked yourself this question:
Are Infographics dead? Or will it die someday?
In the past few years, we witnessed a phenomenon named Infographics.
People use and talk about infographics everywhere as if they are the only life saver for those who want to drive more traffic and revenue (and they are actually).
However, those are the old days.
Infographics have become an out-dated method of data visualization.
We now have more visually appealing, effective, story-telling agents.
Let’s discuss about these new agents in our visual marketing issue this week.
#1: Interactive Infographics
As responsive design and HTML5 become popular, the door for interactivity is opened for infographics. Interactive infographics bring new experience to readers via fun, engaging and interactive look.
• Interactive infographics increase more traffic to your website than static infographics as people have to visit your website to see the infographic.
• Interactive infographics may not attract more social engagement compared to static ones as viewers have to leave the social platforms to access the webgraphic. Some examples of interactive infographics:
#2: Animated Infographics
Animated infographics when done right can represent complex topics and tell great stories to your readers. They are informative, fun and sometimes touching.
#3: Gif Infographics or Gifographics
Last but not least is Gifographics.
Many of us suffer from infographic fatigue, tired of seeing yet another piece of design content that could have just as easily been summarized in a simple list, hitting the web every hour. Sam Laird
Gifographics are not only interesting but they actually move and make it easier for human to absorb any complex topic.
